Hi!
I think there is a contradiction between some rulings:
- In this answer you said Tactical Advantage is not "on" the tactician personality.
- From the Ivory Reference Rules p.24:
On: You can determine whether an ability or effect is “on” a card the same way as whether it is “from” a card.
and here the answer is confirming that Tactical Advantage is indeed "from" the tactician personality.
Maybe I'm mixing concepts, but I would like some clarification, please :)
Thanks!

We'll revise the exact wording in the Reference Rules, because Tactical Advantage is an exception to that general rule. Most often "on" and "from" are synonimous, but there are a couple of exceptions such as the one being discussed here.
To clarify, the Tactical Advantage ability comes "from" the Tactician Personality but it is NOT "on" the Tactician.
