What happens when units with equal Might face each other in a Showdown, and when does a Showdown occur?

Ruling: When units with equal Might face each other in a Showdown, both sides deal damage simultaneously equal to their total Might. All units that receive lethal damage go to trash. If both sides are destroyed, the battlefield becomes empty and control is lost.

Sequence:

  • Showdown starts immediately when a unit or multiple units move to a battlefield
  • Multiple units can be moved to the same battlefield at once
  • Both sides deal their total Might as damage simultaneously
  • Damage must be lethal to an unit before damaging another
  • All units dealt lethal damage go to trash

Nuances:

  • When multiple units defend against a single attacker, the attacker chooses which defending unit receives their damage
  • Equal Might results in mutual destruction with no conquest and no points awarded
