No this wouldn't work.
If the only participants on your side is a commander with bodyguards, the commander will rout as soon as the first bodyguard is killed (or perhaps only wounded). This has happened to me with a PoD with a skeleton-only bodyguard. He didn't get to summon anything before a "flying" triton caused everything to rout [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
(I then changed them to hold and attack closest and all was well

)
