Answer

Ruling: Each player assigns their units' might as damage to enemy units. The attacker assigns damage first, then the defender assigns damage. No units die during assignment - after both players have assigned damage, all damage is dealt simultaneously and units with damage equal to or greater than their might are defeated.

Sequence:

  • Attacker assigns their units' damage to defender's units
  • Defender assigns their units' damage to attacker's units
  • All damage is dealt simultaneously
  • Units with damage equal to or greater than their might are defeated simultaneously

Nuances:

  • Damage assignment does not deal damage; damage is only dealt after both players complete assignment
  • Players cannot assign damage to their own units to protect other units

Does this answer look correct?
