allocating wounds question

[SnEaKyGiT]

just wondering if someone can help with this one.

Q: in the example picture, unit 2 inflicts 12 wounds against unit 1, of which 1 is armour saved, does this mean the unit is wiped out leaving the character untouched?

 

[Grish]

Yep, that's what it means. The lone character will then have to take a Leadership test or Crumbling as appropriate.

 

[Bishop]

Correct. In close combat, characters act a lot like they are their own seperate unit(s). In order to wound the character, attacks must be allocated to the character (barring flee/crumbling from CR :tongue: ).

 

[Darkos]

And assuming he is testing LD at -11, you can overrun him anyway...

Isn't it just Deamons who take a LD test or crumble ?

I thought undead just take straight up wounds from the CR differance.

 

[Darkos]

yes, you're correct.
If it happens to be a VC character, he simply crumbles aways from 11 wounds. And if it is from another army, has to take LD test at -11 and flee in most cases (so chance to overrun him).

 

[Grish]

Original poster didn't specify what army the above list applied. It could be Undead, Daemons, Empire or an Unbreakable Slayer. Who knows.

So I said either Crumble or take a LD as appropriate.

 

[SnEaKyGiT]

Thanks, wasn't the army so much as how the characters work in combat.

So, to jack this thread for my own VC question:

If, say the two units pictured above, fought and the bad-man won by 3 CR by what ever means (Of course, I whiffed again!) Would both the Unit and the character loose three wounds? Or would the character be afforded the buffer of wounds per the unit he is with?

It seems silly to me, since if he charged in separate he would for sure take the wounds, although I would prefer to know he has the protection.

BRB, pag 72- UNSTABLE " if an unstable unit also includes a unstable character ... controlling player first assign the wounds to the unit, and then split excess wounds equally between all unstable characters"

So characters don't take crumbling wounds until his unit (or mount) has been wiped out.

Best form of character protection is put them in a unit, in many ways, as i painfuly learned last game when lost my master necromancer in corpse cart at the first cannon shot of the entire game :slapface:
