Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Raphael]

Hello Jon,

A couple more questions if I may;

1) If a target unit with differing levels of protection (LHI/LMI or EHC/HC for example)) is shot at from behind the flank, or charged in the flank, is the front rank used for working out the relevant combat factors?

2) Can a unit charged in the flank Break off if that is the only combat result listed? Or must it make a counter move to face its opponent first?

Thanks,

Raphael

1) Closest element. (8.92) If the closest element is the 'weaker' armor, then that is what is used for the weapon factor.

2) Yes, it moves directly away without having to make a counter move first.
