[Wayne Power]

 The Peladine have one  battle remaining, scenario 2189 probe recovery, Peladine DW "Sutu" with 2x SKTs interceptors vs Klingon Office of Security D5K (probably will be resolved during the week).
all good

Flag bridge does not necessarily make it a leader variant. For example, 
starbases (S8.27) and some Lyran ships (R11.5). Even leader variants 
don't always have flag bridge - see most DWLs and FLGs. As near as I 
figure, leader variants are marked as such only on the SSD (though 
looking at higher-than-normal Command Ratings for the class can be an 
indicator. Unfortunately, that also captures some PFTs and carriers.) 
See (S8.36); it begins with the most complete definition of a leader 
variant that is off the top of my head.


The RMS (regardless of the number of pods) counts as a Size-Class 2 
ship. As such, it counts under (S8.331). One would think that (S8.363) 
applies to keep it from being considered as a leader, but the RMS is 
actually a dreadnaught-sized tug variant - which is still not a leader 
variant. (note that the tug pods are never applied against a flagship's 
command rating.)


The BCH very much is under (S8.333). This also excludes it from being 
considered a leader variant. This also allows the BCH to be included, 
specifically regardless of the inclusion of a Size-Class 2 unit.


So per (S8.36), the consideration of leader variants falls to the CWL 
and the DWL. The CWL is leading a full squadron of CWs, allowing the DWL 
to be included under (S8.361).


The above fleet appears legal to me.
