8th Ed. 2 questions

[Crillaz]

Hi guys.

I have two questions.

1. If two units are in close combat, one of the units have a wizard, which causes a miscast and blows away more than 25% of its unit. Panic test. It flees. Can the other unit pursue? Even tho it didn't have anything to do with the panic test.

2. Hand of gork. can it be used to move fleeing units? If so, will the unit continue fleeing from the new position?


Thank you.

I don't believe you take panic tests while in close combat.

Reading the spell description I'd interpret it as yes to both questions!

Correct. Panic tests are not taken while in close combat.

Edit: BRB pg. 62, under Panic Tests.
