Field Commander

During Army Building, an army that includes a unit with the Field Commander keyword may ignore the minimum commander Rank requirement. If a player’s army contains no commander units during Setup but does contain a unit with the Field Commander keyword, that unit gains a Commander token. When a player reveals a non-commander or operative specific Command Card, they may nominate an allied unit with the Field Commander keyword to be Commander and issue Orders. A unit with the Field Commander keyword is not a commander and only counts as one for the purposes of issuing Orders with a Command Card during the Command Phase. A unit with the Field Commander keyword counts as a commander of that Faction or Affiliation when building a Command Hand.

Additionally, if an allied Unit is within 3 of the unit with the Commander token and both units share the same Faction or Affiliation, that allied unit may treat the unit that has the Field Commander keyword as a commander unit with a ? of 2.
