Dividing Attacks
URL Copied!

If a model is in base contact with more than one enemy model, it can choose which one to attack. If a model has more than 1 Attack, it can divide its Attacks. This must be made clear before rolling To Hit.

If a fighting rank is engaged with more than one enemy unit, as shown in Fig 147.1, models within that fighting rank must, if possible, direct their attacks against the enemy models they are in base contact with. A model that is not in base contact with the enemy must direct its attacks against the closest enemy unit. If two enemy units are equally close, the player can choose which one the model attacks.

Fig 147.1 - Unit A is in combat with two enemy units and must divide its attacks. The models shaded blue must attack the enemy they are in base contact with. One model, shaded red, is not in base contact with any enemy. As neither enemy is closer to this model than the other, it can choose which enemy to attack.
