Can a Halfling band be played if it is not larger than the markers already in the leader's Kingdom?
The Halfling section removes the marker requirement for Halfling leaders.

Yes. A Halfling leader never places a Control marker, so the marker-count requirement never applies, and the band still scores Glory at the end of the Age like any other band.
