|
I seem to remember reading the answer to this a few years back, but I can't find it in the rules, FAQs, errata, or searching this forum. If a unit with better armor AND missile support is beaten by exactly one, do the two post melee bonuses flip the outcome of the melee, and, if not, where does it say that? _________________ - Let the Die be Cast |

Both of these factors can only get a melee back to evens - so you'd apply them sequentially, the first would get you back to evens and then you'd not be able to apply the second one. _________________ www.madaxeman.com |

Rules say you only get these if "losing". If you are not losing they don't apply. |

That's how I and my group understand that it should work, but we were at a complete loss to find where the rules actually say that. I can't find anything that mentions that the modifiers are checked than applied sequentially (other than 2HW on ties specifically being called out to occur before the better armor bonus)... and if they did trigger simultaneously you'd get the really goofy situation where being beaten by 1 is better than tying. _________________ - Let the Die be Cast |

understandable and I see how you get that.
We need to remember the rules include common sense as opposed to the old WRG, where a convoluted wording turned the world upside down. |
