I'm reading over the detailed rules regarding scuffles on page 20 of the rulebook and became stumped.

Everything up to the end was very clear until the last engagement description after the troll/spearmen engagement.

I get the wolves attack the mage, both killing each other. Then teclis deals damage to the troll, but the description doesn't
mention the troll doing any damage to teclis in that particular engagement.

So the question is: Why does the troll not do any damage to teclis?

I've read through the rules over and over to see if there is anything mentioning if you can only damage once per melee
phase but can't find anything.

I may be reading it but its just not clicking. If someone could clarify that would be awesome!

This has been discussed a bit over at Board Game Geek, it's actually an error in the rule book. The troll would absolutely deal his counter attack damage in the scrum, unless a unit had a swift attack that took him out of melee before his turn to strike came up.

Hope this helps.
