Hi,

A question regarding the relationship between a Commissar's Aura of Discipline and the Regimental Standard's Ld buff. It is clear that the Commissar himself cannot benefit from the Standard, but an infantry unit within his Aura of Discipline may still can. Do these Ld bonuses stack, i.e. does the Standard improves fruther the Ld value transferred to the infantry unit by Aura of Discipline?

Considering negative modifiers don't apply when a unit is using another unit's leadership value, I would be inclined to say positive modifiers won't as well, if the ability doesn't affect the commissar's leadership, but I don't know what either of these abilities say - that could help.

Specifically covered in the new FAQs. Apply modifiers to the unit, then ignore all that and use the ‘leader’-type unit’s unmodified leadership.

Aura of Discipline says that AM units within 6" of a friendly commissar can use the Commissar's Ld instead of their own.

Regimental Standard says that all friendly <regiment> units add 1 to their Ld while they are within 6" of the <regiment> Veteran with the Standard.

Thanks, it seems I've missed this one in the big faq.
