No, the slaves will not cast anything in a turn iff a master casts before they get to act. If a slave acts before the first master, he may cast spells normally. Actually try it, it works.

Better to have the two master first in the orders.


Yogi (M): Communion master, PotS, retreat
Yogi (M): Communion master, LotNS, retreat
Yogi S1: Communion Slave, hold, Soul Slay, SS, SS, Cast
Yogi: same
Yogi: same

I dislike retreating the masters, and thus putting them on the top, because it breaks up your army for future use. Further, the effect of masters on communion slave fatigue is mostly irrelevant. You also only need one master:

S1s all

Slave1: Communion Slave, Hold, LotNS (2s), SSx2 (fatigued out - who cares?)
Slave2-n: CSlave, Hold, SSx3
Master: CMaster, PotS, SSx3

Each master SS produces a whopping 20/n fatigue for each slave, or ~2.5 fatigue per slave per casting with 8 slaves. Ie, not relevant.
