When attacking with a unit that has more power than the combined power of multiple defending units, can the attacker destroy all defending units or must they choose which one to destroy?

Ruling: The attacker must destroy all defending units if they have enough power. Damage cannot be overassigned to a unit unless it is the last unit being assigned damage.

Sequence:

  • Add up the attacker's total might
  • Distribute damage to defending units
  • Each defending unit must be assigned exactly its power value in damage (no overassigning)
  • Only the last unit in the damage assignment order can receive excess damage

Nuances:

  • With 7+ power attacking a 3-power and 4-power defender, there are only two valid damage distributions: (1) assign 3 to the 3-power unit and 4+ to the 4-power unit, or (2) assign 4 to the 4-power unit and 3+ to the 3-power unit
  • The attacker cannot choose to destroy only one unit when they have enough power to destroy both
