Wondering if a ranged attack can benefit from support, since the attacker would not be adjacent to the target, eg. Skritch or a farstrider, Karsus, etc..?

I don't have my rulebook at hand but I am positive the rules say that support is determinated based on the amount of fighters adjacents to the enemy, not your mini.

Thanks, and you are correct. I just got home to my rule book. it says "The attacking fighter receives support for each friendly fighter that is adjacent to their target. The target fighter receives support for each friendly fighter adjacent to the attacking fighter". That's pretty strong for the attacker, since even if the target had adjacent friendly fighters they would not count for support purposes if the attacker was a hex or two away.
