List with 2 field commanders

[Madmouse3400]

Let's say you make a list with Aayla Secura (field commander in TX-130) and Clone Commander Fox (Field commander in LAAT/le) with no other commanders or possibly a commander.

1. According to the Rules Reference guide, "While Building an army, if you include a unit that has the field commander keyword, you may ignore the minimum commander unit requirement. If you do, when you deploy a unit with Field Commander, mark that unit with the commander token." Does this mean that both Field commander units get commander tokens?

2. If you were to have another commander would the Field Commander still get a commander token?

3. The rules reference guide continues "In addition, while that unit has a commander token, friendly units at range 1-3 may treat their courage value as 2 when checking whether they panic" If both units get commander tokens then do both have this courage bubble? 

4. If you were to have another commander would the Field Commander Still have the courage bubble?

Yes. If you have ignored the minimum commander requirement, when you deploy a unit with the Field Commander keyword, you mark that unit with a commander token. Both Field Commanders would qualify based on the text of the keyword.

No, if you take a Commander you have not ignored the minimum Commander requirement.

Yes, a Field Commander with a commander token allows friendly units at range 1-3 to treat their Courage value as 2 when checking whether they panic. Note that the source of this commander token isn't important: it can be either at the start of the game via the Field Commander keyword (as discussed), or by way of the Promote game mechanic during the End Phase.

The courage effects of Field Commander only apply if the Field Commander unit has a commander token.

Hope this helps,
