Re: Multiple units involved in combat

Think I've come across this kind of situation a few times before when I've been playing and I think its almost as a hang over effect from playing warhammer. In GW games, close combats are usually treated as amorphous scrums where everyone involved gets to attack. Yeah, definitely - it can get reall...

For that reason I used the situation were Gairlom and Oghurithne were forced to engage the troll unit ( 2 units vs 1 unit ).
