Leader(s) Creation

[turlusiflu]

A18.12 CCPh: Anytime a MMC attacking in CC rolls an Original 2 DR, the player makes an immediate dr on the Leader Creation Table. If this results in the creation of a leader, that leader must add his leadership to the Original 2 CC DR that created him (even if the modifier is a +1), and possibly changing its odds due to his one Inherent FP. Unless one or both sides Withdraw due to Infiltration (11.22), both attacks are re-figured using both of the originally-rolled Original DRs and the new leader's FP/Leadership just as if he had been there all along.

So, if 2 MMC make a single CC attack and roll a 2, do they make a Leader Creation dr for each of the MMC participating in the attack? Or there is a single dr per attack?

One dr only...

According to an old Q&A only one leader can be created and it is based on the highest BPV MMC.

True, I have found it, thank you

A18.12 If several MMC in CC roll a natural 2, I
understand field promotion goes by random
selection of the units for the drm and the MMC is
the new leader attached, but, ¨what if a tie? ¨Are
several SMC created? ¨Must you roll again? ¨do
you chose?
A. Only one leader is created, based on the MMC
with the highest BPV (A18.2). [Compil9]

Actually it is also spelled out in A18.2 although A18.2 says to use RS and in this case ties are not allowed since that would mean 2 (or more) dr/leaders created.

The RS in A18.2 refers to which MMC the leader defends with, in case of highest BPV ties. I asked about that RS and got this answer, which is in Klas's compilation:

"A18.2
A18.2 says to use Random Selection to determine which MMC a newly-created leader defends with. If the RS results in a tie, the
SMC cannot defend with more than one MMC. Does the player get to choose, or should “use Random Selection” instead be
“determine randomly”?
A. “Randomly determine” would be better."

I agree. Random Selection A.9 has a specific meaning and that can't be applied to 18.12 so "Random dr" would be appropriate.
