Does it affect all units seperately or all as a group?

All units separately.

Lesson of the day: keep your skeletons/zombies as far away from your other units as possible.

Not to be all blah blah blah...but it states under Unstable that if a character is riding a mount (assuming both are unstable) the mount takes the hits first followed by the character. Shouldn't this apply to units too?

I know I know...it doesn't but seriously this is a rule that needs some fixing!

characters have different rules than regular units.

and you kill the mount on regular calvalary the rider goes with anyway.

The result for a combat applies to all units involved in that combat.

So if the Undead lost combat by 8, each undead unit that lost would take 8 crumble wounds. Character mounts would take the hits for their character first, so a Goulking on Terrorghiest would work as follows. The Ghiest would take 5 wounds, or however many it had left on its profile, and the Goulking would take 3, or however many he had left.


This is why its VERY bad to throw units into a combat you won't win. If an expensive elite unit and a cheap fodder unit are in combat and your enemy, being the smart type, tosses all his attacks into the fodder and just brutalizes them and ends up winning by a massive margine. Now your elite undead unit is going to take crumble wounds out the wazoo.
