Russian Army leaders and Guards units

[Poor Yorek]

Mike Perryman designed Army Group South Ukraine and thus if he says Guard leaders should be able to affect RKKS leaders, it's good enough for me.

Mike Perryman also designed Broken axis but that one states otherwise. Not sure why or even the rule was submitted that way or was modified in early development.

Sure, given the lack of any official set of rules clarifications from APL there are various options:

1. Rules actually published;
2. Rules passed on by word-of-mouth (message boards) by designers;
3. Whatever one feels like.
