"When leader is attached to a unit, so long as the leader remains with the unit, that unit is also ordered."
Does this mean that you may order an attached Leader also as single leader to move him away from the unit and let back the unit in "unordered" status?

An attached Leader may be ordered to move away from the unit and the unit remains unordered
The rule is: You have 4 (5 with a leader of honor) "commands" to spend to order units/leaders and the rule not only refer to the leader on the initial unit/leader, but also to adjacent units with attached leaders!
- Unit with attached leader (leader stay by unit) = 1 command
- Unit with attached leader (leader detach from unit, unit stay unordered) = 1 command
- Unit with attached leader (leader detach from unit, unit move/battle separate) = 2 commands

I am wondering if the Left / Centre / Right variations of Take Command are always treated as Section cards or not.

The two places where this question arises are:-

1) Playing for the alternate wording "order 1 unit". In a standard game, that can be in any section of the board, right ?

2) In Epic / La Grande Battle games; the rules do not include "Take Command" when listing out card types subject to Section card restrictions.
I have always played it that Take Command has to go to the section (or sub-section) specified on the card; I think that must be right because that is the only meaning possible, giving that the rules say nothing else (unless I've missed it). Even so, again, what about "order 1 unit"?

I could find no FAQ or much discussion on this, so maybe I'm over-thinking or have missed something obvious.

Can someone help me out, please?
