8th Ed. multiple characters and challenges

[forlustria]

What happens if a unit of saurus with a scar vet is in contact with a unit which has 2 characters no champs, the scar vet issuse a challenge no way accepts do both characters move to the back and dont get to attack?

 

[Cravenus]

When you accept/deny a challenge, you choose which character(or champion) will accept/deny it, thus you ed up picking the character who falls to the back of a unit if you were to deny a challenge.

Actually if you accept a challenge you choose who does it, when you deny one the challenger chooses who goes to the back.

 

[Cravenus]

super weak. I'd just assumed you picked either way.

Just read it, so yeah, stupid but its there. There are some limitations, the model you do pick has to be able to accept the challenge, so you cant send unit champions away.

 

[Stonecutter]

If you do it carefully, you can make sure your scar vet is in contact with one character and then retire the other one. However, if both your unit and the enemy unit have champs, you may want to not issue the challenge at all so that you can direct maximum attacks at high value, squishy characters. That way, your own champ can accept any challenge issued by an enemy champ, leaving your scar vet free to lay a beating on some T3 wizard
