This may have been covered else where, but I could not find if, my Google and forum fun fails me.

It is possible for a Hittite General to command an allied contingent, if no ally general taken.

That I understand, however that leads me to some other question.

1. As Professional can be still be gifted cards?

2. Can the Army commander command one of the allied unit, by playing an extra colour card?


I believe the answer to the question is 1. Yes, 2. No. Could someone confirm

You cannot gift to ally generals but you can gift to professional sub-generals (from a professional army commander).

Professional generals can only command non-allied troops.

Hi Richard

Hittite sub generals can command some allies troops,  so the question is basically can any Hittite sub-general or command?

They are still allied troops even if commanded by a Hittite sub-general so no as Professional generals can apply their cards to any other non-allied troops.

So the Hittite Professional Sub General assigned to the Ally troops becomes of that nation, so you can't gift cards from AC? As he is not an ally general so you don't show his cards at the start of the game, is the only advantage?

The general is a Hittite subbie and so can be gifted cards. The troops he commands are allies and so cannot be prompted by professional generals other than their own.

Which is what you thought initially
