A figure in ambush may activate at any time on their turn (tell GM you are ambushing)
Defenders attacked from ambush cannot fire at the attacker (first contact only)
Ambushing foot can ambush foot and/or mounted figures

Melee
Attacker moves their figure into contact during their movement phase
The defender can attempt to fall back one move distance to avoid the fight
o Roll D10 > 7 to fall back
o If successful the Defender back-ups facing the attacker
o The attacker gets to shoot at the defender if they fall back (if they have a weapon).
o The defender does not get to shoot at the attacker if they choose to fall back
Defender in a building can only be attacked by 1 figure at a time (walls & roofs dont count)
Only Defenders get benefit of cover for terrain/building not the attacker

-2 if wounded
+1 if charging at a figure in the open (first phase only)

Hero Saves
Only heroes may save if they are killed in melee (>7).

Unit Morale
Units need to check for morale if unit reaches 50% losses, and for each loss after they go
below 50%
Morale check is a single D10 roll below the number of figures that remain in the unit
(includes unit leader)
If unit leader is alive, subtract 1 from the die roll
If the overall Leader is still alive the unit gets a second chance re-roll for morale with the
same modifiers as the previous roll
For each loss after reaching 50%, the unit needs to roll morale.
Units cannot be combined or use other leaders.
