Models that are in base contact with different enemy units can choose which to attack. When is this decision made, at the start of the combat or when the model's turn to fight comes?URL Copied!

If a unit's fighting rank is engaged with two enemy units, one of which is a lone character engaged in a challenge, can models within the unit's fighting rank ignore the character even if they are closer to it than to the other enemy unit, or are their attacks lost?URL Copied!
Models not engaged in a challenge cannot direct their attacks against models that are. In other words, any models that would normally have to direct their attacks against the character are free to direct them instead against the other unit their unit is engaged with.

Models in the fighting rank that are killed before they have a chance to fight cannot, but can a model make a supporting attack if the model in front of it is slain?URL Copied!
Yes, if they have not been killed, models able to make supporting attacks can do so as normal. In other words, casualties inflicted reduce firstly the number of models in the fighting rank that are able to fight and secondly the number of models in the 'supporting rank' that are able to fight.

How many attacks can a model with a split profile make if it is in the fighting rank but not in base contact with the enemy?URL Copied!
A model with a split profile consists of not one model, but several, all sharing the same base. Therefore, each model on that base could make a single attack. In the case of a cavalry model, for example, this would be one attack from the rider and one from their mount.

My unit charges an enemy unit that is defending a low linear obstacle, making base contact with the obstacle rather than the unit. Can my unit make Impact Hits or Stomp Attacks?URL Copied!
No. Models must be in base contact with the enemy to make Impact Hits or Stomp Attacks.

Can a Close Order unit of just one model claim the Close Order combat result bonus?URL Copied!
Yes, provided it has a high enough Unit Strength (as per the errata on page 1). A unit of just one model is still a unit.

What happens to a unit that Gives Ground whilst within 2" of the edge of the battlefield?URL Copied!
Should any part of a unit cross beyond the edge of the battlefield whilst it is Giving Ground, the entire unit is removed from play and counts as having been destroyed.

What happens to a unit that cannot Give Ground due to the presence of another unit?URL Copied!
The unit's movement stops immediately, as if it were surrounded.

What happens if a unit that wishes to make a pursuit or overrun move cannot move due to the presence of other units?URL Copied!
It may happen that it is simply impossible for a pursuing or overrunning unit to move without it ending up 'on top' of another unit. In such cases, the unit does not move, but is considered to have made a pursuit or overrun move.

If a unit completely destroys its enemy in combat and makes an overrun move, can it attempt to reform after moving?URL Copied!
Unless it pursued into a fresh enemy, yes. A unit that overruns makes a normal pursuit move and, since its enemy has already been wiped out, it may attempt to reform as if it had run down its foe, as described on page 129.
