slayerx, I'm not saying you're wrong, I think you're right. I'm just saying Ansom still has an advantage. Which makes sense, we wouldn't want things to be too easy for our protagonist :)
That seems like additive bonuses. When Parson said force multipliers, I thought it meant a 2 with a Warlord with 6 leadership would suddenly be like a 12 (Bogroll would normally have 2/2.5, but he's got Parson's 2 bonus). At the same time, I did get the impression that stack bonuses were +8 instead of X8. Hm...
