Does damage reduce or manipulate Might values during a showdown?

Ruling: No, damage does not change Might values. Damage and Might are two completely separate mechanics.

Nuances:

• Might is the combat statistic of a Unit used to determine contribution to Combat and when it is Killed by damaging effects
• Damage is a marked value applied to Units that tracks how close a Unit is to being Killed
• Units are Killed during a specific cleanup step when Damage equals or exceeds their Might
• If damage reduced Might, the cleanup step rule would be redundant
