Only characters left

#1 Post by the shalafi »

hello everybody,

I was playing a game today against my cousin, and by the end of turn 4 my entire bus of dragon princes had died. I only had the 3 characters in it left. Now that brings me to my question: does that leave them as a single unit? or do they become 3 seperate units? Because I don't believe you can just make a unit of characters... I ended up just running them as 3 seperate units, but does anyone know what the official rules are?
I have no idea, so I would be glad if anyway where to help me.

Good question! Never encountered this one in a game before to even consider it. My first thought was that they would remain a unit having previously been one anyway, but I dont think there is anything in the rules to cover this one and I wouldnt know whether or not its been FAQ'd. Intrigued to see what someone more knowledgeable on the rules has to say on this one.

Page 97 of the Rulebook mentions the possibility of "an impromptu unit entirely made of characters". So the 3 remaining characters would form such a unit after all the rank-and-file were dead. They would be free to leave afterwards.
cheers, Lee
