Multiple units involved in combat

Hi all,
I asked this big question at Rob. He proposed to share it here so everyone can see the answer.
Hi Rob,
This weekend Beire and me will be presented at a event to demo Darklands.
The games are running smooth but their is one thing we struggle with :
Calculate the attack results but with multiple units involved in combat.
Example:
Oghurithne unit with 10 = Unit strength 30
Umaer + 10 gairlom = Unit strength 11
Troll Jarl + 5 trolls = Unit strength 24
The Umaer will force the initiative and swift charge the Troll unit with his unit and Oghurithne unit.
In combat the Gairlom inflict wounds for 4 blood tokens, the Oghurithne inflict wounds for 7 blood tokens. They kill together 2 trolls and wound 1 badly. Both units becomes exulted.
The troll unit will react and hit hard back. They focus all their attacks on the Oghurithne unit and kill 3 off them. So receiving 10 blood tokens. The Oghurithne unit will lose their 7 blood and exulted token.
Calculate the results.
Troll unit vs Gairlom :
Troll unit has strong, exulted, 10 blood and banner token = 13
Gairlom/Umaer has exulted, 4 blood, swift, banner token = 7
Troll unit has a 6 victory score vs Gairlom unit and they receive 6 defeat tokens.
The Gairlom unit remove the exulted, swift and blood tokens because they are defeated.
Troll unit vs Oghurithne :
Troll unit has exulted, 10 blood and banner token = 12
Oghurithne unit has strong, swift and banner token = 3
Troll unit has a 9 victory score vs Oghurithne unit and they receive 9 defeat tokens.
The Oghurithne unit remove the strong and swift token because they are defeated.
The Gairlom and Oghurithne unit both takes a panic reaction. The Oghurithne unit has rolled the panic result on the wild table.
Gairlom unit panic test :
6 defeat and banner token = -50 on fortitude test. They passed it and stay in combat but receive a shaken token.
Oghurithne unit panic test :
9 defeat and banner token = -80 on fortitude test. They fail and becomes a fleeing unit and receive a broken token.
The troll unit choose to chase down the Oghurithne unit. They are still engaged with the Gairlom unit but are stronger and able to do that.
The Troll unit are quicker then the Oghurithne but are not the strong unit so will reflex attack the Oghurithne before they move their chase distance. After the reflex attacks the troll unit moves his chase distance. Now the Gairlom unit can reflex attack the trolls because they move out of the attack range/combat.
When that is finished the combat is done. And we haven't even played 1 battle hour yet . That is what we like about this game but do we play this part correct ? We want to be sure.
