When defending a battlefield with 1 unit (5 might) against 2 attacking enemy units (2 might and 4 might), can the defender assign damage to kill both enemy units?

Ruling: Both players assign damage to units. The defender can split their damage across multiple attacking units, and the attacker chooses how their units' damage is distributed to defending units.

Sequence:

  • Defender assigns their 5 damage (e.g., 4 damage to enemy unit 2, 1 damage to enemy unit 1)
  • Attacker assigns their damage (e.g., unit 2 deals 4 damage to defending unit, unit 1 deals 1 damage to defending unit)
  • Units with lethal damage die (in the example: defending unit dies, enemy unit 2 dies)

Nuances:

  • The defender can choose how to distribute their damage among attacking units
  • The attacker chooses how each of their units assigns damage to defending units
