leaders assisting recovery and related unit activations

[joe_oppenheimer]

Not sure how you interpret that to say a leader assisting in recovery may not attempt to recover themselves.

14.4 states:

It is generally best to attempt recovery for disrupted leaders first, and then units, because a leader that recovers may then assist unit recovery in the same activation. Demoralized leaders do not have this option and use their whole activation to attempt to recover themselves.

The restriction that a leader can't do anything else means that if they aid in recovery they can't move, add their firepower modifier, or enter an assault. It doesn't prevent them from activating units.

Units attempting recovery and leaders assisting them must be activated and may conduct no other action that turn.
