I'm not sure if the old rule regarding Imperial Guard squads that can use the leadership value of a command squad within range is still valid under the new Imperial Guard codex. I do not see the rule in the Codex but perhaps it is in the main rulebook, which I doubt.

So, is this rule gone?

It seems to be.

As you said, it is an old rule. You get orders now instead.
