I have 2 Questions.

1. There was a combat today where a Ironblaster flanked charged, and a Saberclaw charged the rear of a Chimera. The Chimera lost combat, and the Ironblast chose to hold and Saberclaw chose to presue. Can the chimera player choose to run from the flank charge of the Ironblaster, or does it have to flee from the Saberclaw. Alos just for some clarification if both the iron blaster and the saberclaw chose to presue, what direction would the Chimera flee?

2. Now for combat res, If you charge a unit in the flee and the rear is that +1x2 fior each charge, then an additional +1 for flank and +2 for rear?

Thanks multi-unit combat is the most confusing thing to me.

1. it would flee from what is chasing it or the biggest threat.

2 No, +1 for the charge, +1 for a flank, +2 for rear

To expand on 2) - you can only ever get those bonuses once, like bonus for banners. If you have 20000 banners in a combat, you get +1; if you charge 20000 units into the rear of a unit, you get +2

I want to see the game where those exact scenarios arrive.

With a minimum of what, 1 million points* to achieve on just one side, it would look pretty epic..

*approx 50 points for cheapest unit with banner, obviously can go a lot cheaper than that for cheapest units to rear charge

I just wanted to clarify question #1. On pg 60 under direction of flight, it has your answer.

Basically, in your case you would determine randomly which enemy you flee from for direction purposes. It goes by whichever enemy uni thas more ranks, and in the case of atie it is determined randomly.
