Main Rulebook

Pick any one of the combats on the table and resolve it, following the sequence given below. Pick another combat and resolve it. Continue like this until all combats are resolved. 1. Fight Combat
Models in base contact with the enemy will fight, as explained in the rules that follow. 2. Combat Result
Work out which side has won the combat and by how much. If the fight is not a draw, the losing side will have lost by 1, 2 or more 'points'. 3. Break Test
Each unit on the losing side must take a Break test. Any units failing their Break test are deemed broken' and will run away. 4. Flee & Pursue
Units that have broken must flee away from their enemy. Units whose enemies have broken and fled that turn are allowed to pursue them and might possibly catch and destroy them. 5. Redress Ranks
Units are tidied up, ready to continue the battle.

The Close Combat Phase

Once shooting has been resolved, it is time to deal with the brutal cut and thrust of close combat. Units engaged in combat cannot declare charges, move or shoot missile weapons - they must stand toe-to-toe with their enemy until one side is destroyed or forced to flee. Regardless of which player's turn it is, all models that are in contact with the enemy must fight. The close combat phase is therefore an exception to the normal turn sequence, in that both sides are taking part in the action. During the close combat phase the player whose turn it is picks one of the fights and resolves it, following the procedure outlined in the chart below. Once that combat has been resolved, including any flee and pursuit moves, the player picks another fight and resolves it, continuing like this until all the engagements have been fought.
