Am I reading this right that you need two of these to use the ability? 1 to put the token on and another for the battle action to use a token?
Rallying the Recruits
A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Yes. Or you could use it in conjunction with Recruitment Center, which also uses Recruiter tokens.
