i just wanted to ask you guys about some basic ruling, but it seems that it was not clear as my case is not stated on the BRB (big red book)
here is the situation:
i control a 5x5 block of skeleton warriors with FULL COMMAND (std, mus, champ) and my opponent control a unit of 4 ironguts. The ironguts charged my skelie block. i hold. then in combat phase, say the ironguts make an impressive 8 wounds without my opponent allocating any of the attacks against my command group. I remove 8 of the wounded model. so here is the question:
Can i return the attacks with my skeleton unit especially with my skeleton champion???
One of my veteran friend said that i can make the attacks with the champion even if my front rank is totally devastated as the champion is not dead. So no matter what happens
to the unit, as long as you have 1 models left in combat and you choose that the champion is the remaining model in the unit, you can make the champion return the attacks with his own attacks. Is this true?? As for me, i think that i cannot make any returns as my front rank is wiped out. (note: No spears)
Whether it is true or false, could you help me find the FAQ, Errata or RULING that support your arguments. I'd really appreciate that because we want to make it clear, so i'd like to print the FAQ.
Stated on the BRB that you could allocate the attacks to the champion. To make it simple you allocate 4 attacks to the champion then you make 3 wounds but the champion only has 1 wound. But here is what is stated on BRB. Any excess of the wounds is not wasted, but the wounds are carried over to his rank and file unit. can't remember what page, but this is stated in command section of the BRB.
thank you for your replies.
