The confusion here, I think, is that the individual taken is, actually, a support choice. Therefore, there only needs to be two grunts to support it. Bauhaus is a rather confusing corporation when it comes to this.
The individual, if taken in a force that is it's own house, needs only a squad to qualify it. It can be a grunt or an elite squad, but can't be an elite that was taken as support (from a different Duke Elector). If the individual is taken as support, it is just that - support. As long as there are two grunts to qualify it, then the maodel may be taken. It does not require a further unit to qualify it.
Think of the individual as a mortar team or as another elite unit from a different Duke Elector.
Remember, Bauhaus make take any unit from a different Duke Elector as support. This is a special rule for Bauhaus, only.
Therefore:
- 2 Grunt Units + 2 Elite Units + a third Elite (from a different Duke Elector or any Duke Elector if it is a Homebuilder force) = Legal Force.
- 3 Grunts + 1 Elite + 1 Support (from Support List or any Unit from diff. D. E.) + 4 Indies = Legal Force
- 2 Grunts + 2 Elites + 1 Support + Unit from Diff. D. E. = Illegal Force.
However, if the individual in question is "squad linked," then[/b] it must[/b] have the corresponding elite unit attached to be onboard. If the unit is taken as support, there would, then, need to be four grunts to qualify them both.
Ex.: A Richthausen Force wishes to bring Jungle Kommandos and their Kaptain. There would need to be 4 Homebuilder grunts to make this force legal.
