When attacking with two 5 might units (10 total might) against an 8 health unit and a 2 health unit, can you choose to kill only the 8 health unit?
Ruling: No, you cannot choose to kill only the 8 health unit. You must assign damage equal to your total might (10), and you cannot overassign damage to a unit unless it is the last unit.
Sequence:
- Assign lethal damage (8) to the first unit
- Assign remaining damage (2) to the second unit
- You cannot overassign the remaining 2 damage to the 8 health unit because it is not the last unit
Nuances:
- You must assign damage equal to your might, not less than or equal to it
- Units must have lethal damage assigned to them in full before damage is assigned to a different unit
- You cannot overassign damage until you reach the last unit
