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. If the result is lower than or equal to the units Discipline stat, it is succesful.
When rolling a discipline test units can add their Rank Bonus to their Discipline stat. Each rank with at least 3 models gives +1 Rank Bonus, including the first rank.
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.
