Knights of Tezoth

A defensive action is performed during the opponent's turn and does not cost an action, nor does it require the commander's presence in the squad.

Not quite clear... Can any squad defend, even one made up solely of units without a "figure"? And what is the "defense" action for "figures" then?🤔

Recruit a mercenary squad (5 reinforced units, no equipment required) - costs 100 gold per turn, counts toward the general squad and unit limits.

What template are they recruited by?

On what "terms" do friends and partners of "figures" operate here? Are they treated as regular units?
