CATAN
Do Soldier cards have to be played to count toward Largest Army, and can you claim it by playing three at once?
The rulebook's Largest Army and Knight Cards sections settle it, and replies agree.

Yes. Held cards don't count, only played knight cards do. You can't claim it by playing three at once, since only one development card may be played per turn. The first player with three played knights takes it, and it passes as soon as another player has more played knights.
