I guess the two possible interpretations, then, are
1) The use of the word Troll is meant simply to prevent an extra Orc Leader; or
2) The use of the word Troll is meant to overcome the racial limits on company composition.
I'll agree that 2) is unlikely, but the card can be read that way.
It's possible that they forgot they had a card for making non-orc/troll leaders when they created Orders from Lugburz.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
Konrad argued against Ben in the thread on the rules forum. Basically, his point was that you do less violence to the rules if you go with interpretation (1) over interpretation (2). I agree with Konrad on this, though it's not entirely clear to me that Orders from Lugburz doesn't itself do violence to the rules.
