Call Forward Reserves

I think there is a big difference between "The unit may be placed onto either a hex with no terrain COMMA adjacent to a friendly Leader, or onto a hex with a lone friendly Leader." and "The unit may be placed onto either a hex with no terrain NO COMMA adjacent to a friendly Leader, or onto a hex with a lone friendly Leader."

I think someone needs to remove the comma from that sentence!

Richard knows this bad wording. We will see, if he initiate a revised text on future card prints

We made the mistake of playing the games without printing out the FAQ from this site!
I get the feeling the cards could have been proof-read better.

Another card that we had problems with was Battlefield Smoke that reduces the attacking unit's [SINGULAR] battle dice to a maximum of 2 dice. When there were multiple attacking units, what we should do is not clear. We came up with three possible interpretations for our infantry-artillery combined arms attack.

• Reduce the infantry to 2 but not the combined arms artillery (that could agree with the card as written)
• Reduce the infantry to 2 and the combined arms artillery to 2
• Reduce the infantry plus the combined arms artillery to 2 (correct according to the FAQ).

Also we thought that Battlefield Smoke would (obviously as smoke isn’t a one-way mirror) even apply to any battle back (incorrect according to the FAQ).

“Reduce the total dice of the attacking unit or units to a maximum of 2 dice” would be one alternative text which is perhaps a little clearer.

Therefore i created the "printable" FAQ
If i play online, i have the document always open in meantime.

And that is the bad thing, which i personally don´t like much.
The CC system was original (with Battlecry) a very easy system, which you could play rare times and you still remember all rules.

In meantime you can´t play the game right without the FAQ beside, also if you play regular and only CCN (as me)
And as some Memoir 44 friends confirm, these MM44 power gamers can´t remember all rules in meantime also.
I hope CCN don´t goes this way, therefore i am not pleased about the circumstance, that we get a epic extension with 2 different epic style boards and rules.

My understanding of the CC system is, keep it easy and simple as it was with the mother of C&C "Battlecry"

So this is True: The unit may be placed onto either a hex with no terrain that is adjacent to a friendly Leader, or onto a hex with a lone friendly Leader?

Both are correct.                               
Tricorne Continental Combat Card add the last phrase.
 

If a Unit on the baseline has a Leader attached, the Leader can move with the Unit, right?

Is that optional?

For instance, it would not be possible for an attached Leader to accompany a Unit onto another (lone) Leader.

A leader is not a unit, so I think by the text of the card, and for sheer simplicity sake, leaders attached or otherwise cannot be called forward as reserves. If a unit with a leader was on the baseline, I think the unit could be called, and the leader would remain on the baseline.
