Right-e-o,

Your opponent was correct, but not for the reason that he gave.

Any SM command squad may have an additional ATTACHED Chaplain and/or Librarian, but only one of each type of ATTACHED character.
"Attached" being the key word here as the Character that the squad is chosen for is not chosen under the "attached" rule.

He could have taken 4 Epistolaries had he wanted to.

(Epistolary + Librarian command squad + Attached Epistolary) * 2 = completely legal

Yes, that is the RAW.


Some might argue that they only intended that one total of each character type be allowed in the squad, but that's not what the rule actually says.

Solution? Make it a priority to figure out a way to kill that squad and make him eat the points he dumped into it.
