Effects

The user of this Special Skill has a Lieutenant Special Order.

If, during the Tactical Phase of the Turn, the Lieutenant is in an Isolated or any Null State (Unconscious, Dead, etc.) or has not been deployed on the gaming table, the Loss of Lieutenant rule will be applied.
When a new Lieutenant is appointed (due to Loss of Lieutenant, Chain of Command...), they gain the Lieutenant Special Skill, with no additional abilities.
In the Unit Profile, this Special Skill may have additional abilities listed. Some examples are:
- +1 Command Token. The player that takes this Trooper as their Lieutenant will have one extra Command Token for the match.
- +1 Order. Indicates that this Lieutenant has two Special Lieutenant Orders each Turn instead of one.
This Special Skill remains active even when its owner is in a Null State, until the appointment of a new Lieutenant.

IMPORTANT

The presence of a Trooper with the Lieutenant Special Skill in the player's Army List is obligatory.
The player's Army List cannot include more than one Trooper with this Special Skill.

Q: Which Automatic Skills or Equipment have to be declared when in a Marker State?

Q: How does the Lieutenant Special Skill interact with Isolated State? Can they still spend their Lieutenant Special Order, and can it still be used by a Trooper with NCO? Does this change during Loss of Lieutenant?

~~A: The Special Lieutenant Order can be used if it has already been generated. During Loss of Lieutenant it is not generated, because the Loss of Lieutenant check is before the Order Count step.~~
