COMBAT OUTCOME Compare your element’s combat total with its opponent’s, then make the outcome move specified below. This depends on the type of your element (or stronghold) and that of its main close combat opponent or the main element shooting at or bespelling it. Ifno outcome is listed and neither side breaks-off, continue fighting next bound. Elements disregard an unfavourable outcome in the following circumstances: © When bespelling any element except another magician or a god. © When shooting without being shot back at. (Artillery cannot shoot back in an enemy bound). © When aiding bespelling or distant shooting. © When fighting as an overlap. © When fighting sneakers (unless a general, stronghold or other sneakers). An element in frontal combat with an enemy flank or rear edge, or aiding an attack on a stronghold, disregards the outcomes listed below, but recoils if a friendly element in contact with the enemy’s front recoils, flees, or is destroyed or ensorcelled. Ifa spear or warband element is destroyed as a result of a combat in which it added +1 for a rear rank element, that rear rank element is also destroyed.
