Fear

Post by Entreri »

What will happen when a 20 strong unit is being charged by 6 cold one knights in the front and 5 cold one knights in the flank.
I know that they take a fear test for each unit, so lets say they make the front charge but fail the flank charge, now there outnumbered right? and will break.... or am I way off!? and do they have to fail both?

Anybody!?

they test for each unit individually, and at this point they will only auto flee if an individual unit has a higher US

in the case which you spelled out the unit would not flee, however would only hit the ones on the flank on 6's, should they lose combat and still be outnumbered, they will be outnumbered by fear causing enemy's and only hold on insane courage

if they fail both checks they still are not forced to flee as a charge reaction, however, needing 6's to hit both units they are very unlikely to not lose to outnumbering fear causers

Bad Beast is correct.

Test for each unit, unit strength of each is counted separately for the purpose of Fleeing or Hitting on 6s.
If both chargers make it into combat, you count the Unit Strength of all Fear causing models.
