Replacement generals and woe tests

[HughB]

If your general dies and your commander with the highest authority has chased a unit off the field of battle, are they still eligible to be considered as the replacement general? They're still active but they're not currently on the field of play? If not, what happens when they return to the battlefield and they've got a higher authority than the replacement general that was picked instead?

Does a replacement general (and any unit they're attached to) have to take a woe test on their fortitude as well or are they considered to have passed the woe test automatically if they're the candidate to be selected as replacement general?

Short answer is yes, there's no specifics to where the replacement general is -

"Should a mustered general die or become broken, the
commander with the highest AUTHORITY (except for Allied
commanders) within the host that is not broken or dead now
becomes the general of the host, called the replacement
general. If the broken general Rallies, the replacement general
reverts to being a commander and the broken general becomes
the general once more."

Does a replacement general (and any unit they're attached to) have to take a woe test on their fortitude as well or are they considered to have passed the woe test automatically if they're the candidate to be selected as replacement general?

It says each unit, so the replacement general has to as well. It makes sense though - you'd have to take a deep breath and think "Bugger! I'm in charge now... do I fancy it?"
