Are leaders units?

[cjsiam]

Hi Grenadiers, cant find a definition of "unit" (combat unit is defined), is a leader a unit?

For almost all conditions where being a unit matters---No.

Not for possession, not for left alive, not for losses.....

I agree that a simple line in the definitions parts of the rules would be of utility...

One thing to remember---is killing them is pretty hard.....they don't take step loses...they can be moraled to death...and they suffer
officer casualties when steps are taken.....but the only ways to take steps off/remove them are different then UNITS...
