This situation came up where my friends General charged my unit. They issued a challenge which I accepted with my units champion. My lowley spearman sargeant obviously got curb stomped (lol) but now is the challenge over and my lower initiative unit can hit back at his general or do challenges, regardless of outcome, remain until the next turn?
Thanks!
Yes it’s a little unintuitive when it’s just one character fighting a whole unit. I suppose they are contributing in the sense that they add the rank bonus to the combat resolution. And it’s an advantage to you because you only lose your champ instead of having the general chop up 5 of your lads.
I guess that is true I hadn’t thought of that. I did end up winning technically when calculating the CR which I was not expecting, likely due to the rank bonus.
