Frenzied units against multiple enemies

Postby ministry_of_fear » Fri Jul 09, 2021 3:03 pm

If i have a frenzied unit in contact with two, or more, enemy units and they are attacked, do i only attack reaction with those in contact with the unit that initiated the attack?
Or does the whole unit react and attack anybody in contact?

Tricky one...

I would say that the whole unit attacks whatever they are engaged with but only those Frenzied warriors that were attacked can class the attack as a React attack, the others are using their attack round to attack, meaning that when the Frenzied unit is in turn to attack only the warriors that react attacked can actually attack..

That's how I would read it, although this does get a little messy trying to remember who reacted and who attacked.
Devlin Brightblade, Lord of Saxon Hammerwich, Slayer of Trolls, Tamer of Manticores, Petter of Flint Flang the Kill Thing from the Infernal Pits..

As you slide down the Bannister of Life, may the Splinters be kind...

Any unit can only Attack react against enemies that have Attacked them. Frenzied units would have to Attack Move warriors that aren't engaged towards the unit that Attacked them.
