Mario, historically, headquarters units often fought. As the rules do state: 'The headquarter moves as a king, and also plays the role of king', then with no other information, one would have to assume the piece may capture, but may not move into or remain in check. This is the only reasonable interpretation of the rules as written that I can see.
