Tactician Card Default Action and Call Forward Reserves

Hi Comrades !
Yesterday, we've been playing Ordal Cross with my friend, the well reknown Guillaume Gleize when appeared the next situation.
Guillaume used one of his Tactician card to move one of his generals.
Then, he played "Call Forward Reserves" to bring a unit near the same general (or under him, I don't remember, but this last fact didn't change anything).
I told Guillaume that I was thinking that his general was using two Tactician cards. He answered me that "the Call Forward Reserves card orders the unit and doesn't matter with the general"...
I watched the FAQ and didn't read nothing about this kind of situation...
Your opinion, Gentlemen ?

I'm inclined to think GG is right. Seems to me that Call Forward Reserves is entirely about the unit, and it isn't important if the leader moved by order or Default action to the location.

Hi Mark, I understand your point of view which is very similar to Guillaume's one.
For myself, the fact that the general was moved by a Tactician card and then, this same general calls a unit from the reserves using the related Tactician card, makes me feel that this general has used 2 Tactician cards during the same turn.
But nevermind...
Maybe Richard will be wandering here one day and will have an official answer to fill the FAQ.
The more important is to have fun playing.

We decided that the tactician card default action was to be played last and after any other tactician cards which may be sequenced for end of turn play.

This may not be correct but it has eliminated other 'timing' issues that may occur.

And for those of us similarly inclined - fits the text which seems to indicate such 'default' actions aren't intended to otherwise disrupt the sequence of events comprising a turn.

Well, how do we know it is that particular general who called forward the reserves? Maybe it was the overall battlefield commander (e.g., Napoleon, Wellington, Blucher); or perhaps the commander of the reserves. I can see both sides of this discussion, so am of two minds about it. However, I would play it as Mark and GG suggest, but would abide by a different ruling from Mr. Borg. It hasn't happened in the 100+ games I've played using the Tactician deck.

You don't need to know if the house rule is that default actions are played after. You also don't need to concern yourself with exceptional situations when only a lone leader remains.

This is pretty much the only house rule we bother with. It closes a (apparent) loophole and keeps the game moving.

I'm not implying it's more correct. I'm only saying my bias runs towards simplification that result in the elimination of (gamey) edge cases.

Nothing on the card says that the leader the unit is placed into or adjacent to played the card.

To be clear - the game is perfectly playable without this house rule. Playing without it may also be what the designer intended.

Sequence is not precisely defined for TC cards beyond the broad restrictions of turn phase and therein lies some interesting ideas like the one that GG demonstrated. I don't see how further defining the sequence counts as simplification and I would be sorry to see this so-called loophole closed.

Look at it another way, it could be a powerful action but two TCs is a commensurate expense.

it seems much like a limited LGM move to me, but the important aspect is the the opponent gets the next action, so can react to the new situation.

I am pretty sure the rules say at the end of your turn you can discard a tactic card to move a General, if you go literal then you play your Tactic card then you can move Generals by discarding Tactic Cards

C&Cnap.net:
Players must observe a number of simple, but critically important rules when bringing a Tactician card into play.
• A Tactician card must always be played when indicated. Some cards may be played out of turn, during the opponent’s game turn, or in reaction to one of his actions or card play.
• When playing a Tactician card, place it in front of you at the appropriate time (possibly in reaction to one of your opponent’s actions), and read it aloud.
• A player may play as many Tactician cards during a turn as desired, but only one card may be played on any given lone Leader, unit with an attached Leader or unit during a turn.
• In case of contradiction, between the effects of two Tactician cards played in succession, the second card trumps the effect of the first one.
• In case of conflict, between the basic rules in this book and a Tactician card, the rules of the card take precedence.
• Terrain movement and battle restrictions will always apply, unless stated otherwise on the Tactician card.
• During a player’s turn, when a Command card containing the words ‘Equal to Command’ is played, the player counts only Command cards. Tactician cards are not counted.

Tactician card Default Action:
All Tactician cards have a default action. Instead of using the text on the Tactician card, the default action of a Tactician card allows a player to discard a Tactician card after all combat is completed, but before drawing a new Command card, and reposition a Leader up to 3 hexes. Terrain restrictions still apply when the Leader is moved.

And the card:

I think are playable both cards (after all combat is completed)
