Well, I'll just ask the question first to save people time by reading and posting why afterwards.
Question: If an infantry squad, led by a Veteran Sergeant, has taken Close-Order Drill as a doctrine and is in close-order, does it take Ld tests on an 8 or a 9?
I'd like to think 9, since the Vet Sergeant is part of the squad, but part of me doesn't think so.
I'm trying to make a themed army that is ridiculously disciplined and stubborn in holding its ground, so basically Die-Hards, Iron Discipline, Hardened Fighters, etc. If I'm wrong, I'm just going to go chem-inhalers and fluff it.
Thanks for your help!
