But, page 106.3, the Luckamancy Charms box maze, tells us the Sword has "Leadership! Combat! Ruthlessness!" So, yes, the sword conveys Leadership. We just don't know how much or in what situation. Caesar conveys a diffeent bonus to units in his own stack vs. units in stacks in the same hex. A combat weapon suggests stack leadership instead of Hex leadership.
I think that teratorn's point was that 'Leadership' is an overloaded term. It could mean the Leadership stat (as most of us have assumed) but it could also mean actual Leadership skills, such as those a good leader in our world must possess.
