Good catch! It is hard to say whether Richard made an exception even in his own rules here. I guess you are going to have to wait on an answer from Richard or Antoine. In the interim, I would just play it as written and give each Field General 2 cards to start.

- Can a FG who has got no card this turn play a Combat Card, regardless the result of the Initiative Roll?

To attempt an answer your second question; it seems that Combat Cards are meant to enhance the ORDERS given to a Field General. If the Field General receives no orders and uses the Initiative roll and gains an order for a unit, THEN and ONLY THEN would I think that you could use the Combat Card to enhance or modify that order. If no ORDER is received (Grenade = loss of figure or Flag - retreat one unit). then the Field General may not use the card.

One other thing to consider.
If the CinC plays TFH and each Field General rolls 4 dice and receives orders for his/her units, then I also believe the Combat Card can be used to enhance or modify these orders as well.
