In combat, only the model at the front of a Lance is required to make base contact with the enemy. If this model cannot make base contact with the enemy, the Lance becomes blunted. Whilst engaged in combat, every model on the outside of a Lance is considered to be within its fighting rank and in base contact with the enemy unit's fighting rank.

Rank Bonus

A unit in Lance formation can claim a Rank Bonus of +1 for each rank that contains enough models, as determined by its troop type.

Combat Result Bonus

A unit in Lance formation with a Unit Strength of 5 or more may claim a bonus of +1 combat result point.

Flank Charges

If a Lance is charged in its flank, align the enemy unit against its widest rank. The Lance then becomes blunted.
