HOW TO RESOLVE COMBATS

MOVEMENT PHASE

1. DECLARE CHARGES

If you want any of your troops to charge, you must declare this at the very start of the movement phase.
1. Fight Combat Models in base contact with the enemy will fight, as explained in the rules that follow. 2. Combat Result Work out which side has won the combat and by how much. If the fight is not a draw, the losing side will have lost by 1, 2 or more points. 3. Break Test Each unit on the losing side must take a Break test. Any units failing their Break test are deemed broken and will run away. 4. Flee & Pursue Units that have broken must flee away from their enemy. Units whose enemies have broken and fled that turn are allowed to pursue them and might possibly catch and destroy them. 5. Redress Ranks Units are tidied up, ready to continue the battle.

2. RALLY FLEEING TROOPS

If any of your troops are fleeing, you can attempt to rally them after declaring charges.

3. COMPULSORY MOVES

Move troops that are subject to a compulsory movement rule.

4. MOVE CHARGERS

Move charging troops and resolve other movement resulting from the charge.

5. REMAINING MOVES

Move the rest of your troops.

SHOOTING PHASE

Declare the ranges at which all guess-range weapons are firing. Resolve the firing of all guess-range weapons, in any order you wish. Resolve the firing of all units equipped with missile weapons that do not require you to guess the range, in any order you wish. The opposing player makes any Panic tests required (as explained in the Psychology section on page 48). Ballistic Skill To Hit score 9 10

MISCAST TABLE

2D6 Result
2 The Wizard is annihilated and immediately removed as a casualty, regardless of any protective magic item or special rule he might have. Models in base contact, friend or foe (including the Wizards monster or chariot mount), suffer one Strength 10 hit (no armour saves allowed) as their flesh mutates and their soul is sucked away. The Wizard and all models in base contact with him (including his monstrous mount or chariot) suffer a Strength 6 hit, with no armour saves allowed. The opposing player may immediately cast any one of his own spells. No casting roll is required the spell is automatically cast but it can be dispelled by the player whose turn it is as normal (by using power dice in the same way as dispel dice). He needs to beat the basic casting value of the spell to dispel it. The caster suffers one Strength 2 hit (no armour saves allowed), loses all his remaining power dice and cannot do anything else during this magic phase. The caster suffers one Strength 4 hit (no armour saves allowed). In addition, all spells currently in play on the entire battlefield are automatically dispelled and the magic phase ends. All power and dispel dice stored in magic items are also lost.

10-11 The caster suffers one Strength 8 hit (no armour saves allowed) and loses a Wizard level (the spell lost must be the one he just attempted to cast). If the caster reaches Level 0, he stops counting as a Wizard and therefore will not be able to use any arcane magic items he is carrying (see the Magic Items section) and will generate no power/dispel dice. 12 The spell the caster attempted is successful and counts as having been cast with irresistible force, but after this the caster forgets how to cast the spell and will not be able to cast it again during this battle.
