The Stat Block

| Skill | A units Skill is a measure of the units training and general fighting ability. It is used to determine Hit Chance in combat and also for Ranged Attacks. |
| Power | Power describes a units physical strength and hitting power. It’s used in combat to overcome the defenders Defense stat. |
| Defense | Defense is a combination of the units general toughness and armor. It’s used to determine the units Damage Save against incoming hits. |

Discipline and Rank Bonus
In some cases a unit might be required to make a Discipline Test. For example, after a unit loses a combat, or when rallying a fleeing unit.
A discpline test is made by rolling 2d6 and adding the units Rank Bonus, if any. If the result is lower than or equal to the units Discipline stat, it is succesful.
A unit gets Rank Bonus for each rank of models behind the first. A rank that is missing models counts as long as it’s half full.
Flight Move
In some situations a unit might lose it’s nerve and try to flee from the battlefield. A Flight Move is chaotic, instead of moving normally roll one d6 for each 4 points of base movement allowance. Move the unit that distance in a straight line, avoiding other units and terrain.
If a Flight Move reaches a table edge the unit flees the battlefield. It is considered destroyed for scoring purposes.
