I will now for about the 8th time try to find out out why a leader is created in this situation.
The field promotion rules to me should only apply to situations where there is
no leader present...and I believe that was the intent of the designers. It seems to me they created those rules to have a couple of situations in the game where if no leader was present somebody could step up (for better or worse). So two situations were created for when an
MMC rolled snake eyes leader creation could occur. Self-rally and CC...and to me both situations can only occur when
NO leader is present.
Self-rally...MMC rallying alone rolls snakes...possible leader. No problem.
Close Combat...MMC attacking alone rolls snakes...possible leader. No problem.
Yet for years everybody has also played that if an MMC
STACKED with a leader rolls snakes in CC...then ANOTHER leader can be created which takes the place of the original leader.
How is this possible? The MMC didn't rolls snakes....the
STACK rolled snakes.
I mean we differentiate between single units and stacks doing stuff all the time. Why not in this situation?
Anyway...I realize this will most likely be another futile effort on my part to enlighten others with my brilliant insight concerning one of my (few) pet peeves about a rules interpretation...
