I´ve tried searching for this question but i couldn´t find it so here it goes.

A unit containing a character with 5 RnF models (For a total of six models) suffers 10 wounds from my WE glade guards.
Are the excess wounds transferred to the character or are they simply lost?

**Rubunga**

The rulebook states page 48 that models must divide their attacks before rolling to hit and in that case their would be no ambiguity. It's a pain but makes it simpler.

**nosferatu1001**

It depends, is this shooting or close combat?

If shooting: impossible to wound a character with normal shooting if the unit contains at least 5 RnF models.

If close combat: attacks must specifically be targetted against the character. Impossible to wound the unit, of ANY size, and for that to spill over to a character

**Slugg087**

I meant shooting ofcourse, I know how it works in close combat

When we played we did as nosferatu said.
But if feels so weird that a character outlives his unit which could have killed the entire unit two times over.

It's pretty rare to come up that the shooting is that effective.
I guess the character hides under the pile of bodies and pops up at the very last minute; just in time to take a panic test.

I like the visual image this gives. A hero of the land hiding under a pile of bodies just to pop up, scream "Home Alone" like and make a mad dash for the board edge! Priceless!
