Work out each combat one at a time - resolve the fighting for all the troops involved in one combat before moving on to the next. A combat is often a fight between a single unit of troops from each side, but it is possible that several units, monsters, and heroes may become involved.

In this example there are three separate combats: one between two units and an Elf griffon rider on the left; a huge fight between two units of Elves, two units of Goblins and a Goblin chariot in the centre; and a combat between two opposing units, an Orc Wyvern rider and an Elf bolt thrower on the right. So long as fighting units are interconnected they are participating in the same combat.
