Number of Allied Detachments

[NewRecruitAnon]

Problem:
Warning about too many allied detachements

Expected:
As clarified in the last FAQ you can take as many allied detachments as you wish, as long as they aren’t the same faction.

This is one of those pain the in arse ones I think as it can ruin the logic... I am still trying to think of the best way to solve it properly, without having to add in about 40 new categories to the GST... (In essence I could like I did for Legiones Auxilia add in an Allied Force (X) one for each Legion and Force (Such as Mech, Custodes, Sisters, Solar, Militia, DotRS, Bound Daemons...), and then make that have a limit of max 1, and reduce the max limit on it to 0 if a Crusade Force (X) was included for that force (with the exception as detailed before for Mech).
At some point I need to work out how to stop a faction allying with itself, or multiple of the same faction (outside of Mech, who technically with the Archimandrite techno arcana can ally with as many of themselves as they like to get all the bonuses of 11 Archmagos primes if they want, one of every Techno Arcana there is... (12 if you include Draykavac and his unique one...

This is still a conflicted issue. The FAQ says:
"Q. Is there a limit on the number of Optional Detachments I can include in my Army?
A. No."
The issue here is that it is not saying definitively that you can have multiple allied detachments. It says you can have multiple "Optional Detachments".
Optional Detachments take many forms. Allied Detachment, Questoris Household & Titan Maniple. Additional to them there is also ones like "Taghma of War Detachment" from the latest campaign books.
