1. Issue challenges.

2. Reveal assassins.

3. Determine model attacking order: first strike, charging, initiative, double-handed weapons.

4. Declare targets for all of a model's attacks before rolling attacks.

5. Roll attacks and remove casualties. Note number of wounds inflicted.

6. Mark units completely destroyed in combat by leaving a single model on its side.

7. Compute combat resolution for each melee.

8. Losers take a break test. If failed, turn a model about to show the unit is fleeing, but do not move yet.

9. Friendly units that have not taken a break test must take a single panic test if within 12 inches of a friendly unit that is broken or destroyed. If the test is failed, turn a model around to show the unit is fleeing.

10. Remove destroyed unit markers and award 'captured standard' victory points if the destroyed unit had a banner.

11. Flying creatures beaten in melee combat but not broken are driven off. Move immediately.

12. Roll flee movement for each unit marked as fleeing and account for any terrain penalties. Pursuing units then roll and also account for terrain penalties. If a pursuing unit moves further than a fleeing unit, then the fleeing unit is destroyed.

13. Victorious units may lap around enemy units that have not broken.

14. Characters that declined a challenge are automatically moved back into a fighting rank.

Frenzy doubles the base number of attacks, then add the extra attack due to 2nd hand weapon, magic weapon, etc.

No. The best you can do is double the base number of attacks. Anything on top of that has no effect.

The second rank of spearmen get to attack on any round that they did not charge into combat. Therefore, if they receive a charge they get to attack. The 2nd rank of spearmen will always get to fight in the 2nd round of hand-to-hand combat.

The models armed with spears directly behind the models involved in the combat may fight with spears (two rows may fight).

No, unless he has special rules that allow him to.

For the first unsaved wounding hit (as per Warhammer Magic, p. 32), determine the number of wounds caused. If this kills the rank and file soldier, then the next wounding hit is applied to the another rank and file soldier, otherwise the next wounding hit is applied to the same soldier until he is dead. Note that wounds do not spill over from one rank and file soldier to the next.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. How many attacks are directed at what models must be decided before any combat results are determined.

Yes.

Consult the magic item card which confers the first strike ability. Most magic items which confer first strike ability explicitly say to resolve this in initiative order, and if both initiatives are equal, roll a D6. Suggested Amendment: If both models have first strike ability, resolve in initiative order or roll a D6 if both initiatives are equal.

Roll a die to determine. Suggested Amendment: When opposing models have first strike ability, resolve in initiative order, or roll a D6 if initiatives are equal.

No. Please note that moving the two models is only a suggestion to make it clear they are fighting a challenge. The actual rule is that the challengers are moved so they are opposite each other, but remain within their respective units.

Only if he is already fighting in close combat.

No.

The monster can only fight in the challenge.

Automatic hits should be distributed between characters and rank and file as evenly as possible, pursuant to the commentary on p. 108 of the rules. Only the character in the chariot and the steeds fight in the challenge, while the other members of the chariot crew are not allowed to fight. Other members from the unit may not attack the chariot during a challenge.

Use the normal rules for striking order. Unless some weapon penalty or magical effect applies, the charger would normally strike first.

Yes.

The 5th edition Rulebook states "the retired character may not fight or do anything else that turn." However the Warhammer Design Team have stated that the unit can use the character's leadership.

No. Challenges are made before Assassins are revealed. This means that an Assassin cannot take part in a challenge on the turn he is revealed, and may not attack characters that are involved in a challenge either.

No.

Yes and Yes. Although Skaven Assassins are listed in the Regiment section of the army list, they are treated as characters for the purposes of challenges.

Yes.

Consult the rules for each magic item. In general, attacks are resolved in Initiative order. If the combatants have equal initiatives, then roll a D6. Items such as the Helm of Many Eyes, the Sword of Swift Slaying and the Bad Moon Banner all state this explicitly on the item cards. Suggested Amendment: If both models have the first strike ability, always resolve in initiative order, and then roll a D6 if the initiatives are equal.

If both sides are armed this way the side with the highest initiative strikes first

The side that won combat the previous turn goes first or if that doesn't apply roll a D6.

Roll a D6 at the start of each combat to decide which takes precedence. Suggested Amendment: Magical first strike ability takes precedence over non-magical double-handed weapons.

The models in the second rank do get to strike back.

No, the Rulebook does not count them as "double-handed weapons."

Any figure with multiple wounds that is killed in hand-to-hand combat has all of its wounds apply towards combat resolution.

Yes.

Compute the rank bonus before casualties have been taken out of the unit.

No, as long as there are 5 models in the enemy unit, the +1 combat resolution bonus is given.

No. Rank bonus is only negated when a unit is actually charged in the flank.

No. Once all the units are engaged, it is considered a single combat.

The casualties come out of the front rank, "as normal"

No, never. If a unit is engaged with 2 enemy units, and 1 enemy unit flees, it may not pursue as long as it is in contact with the other enemy unit.

Yes.

Yes, even if the unit winning the combat has frenzy.

Yes, the unit does not have time to flee.

The character flees directly away from where the two units intersect.

No.

Yes.

No, its fleeing movement is halted 1" from enemy unit. Units can only come into contact with enemy units by charging.

If a situation should arise where the fleeing unit can flee through a gap that the pursuing troops couldn't fit through, then the pursuing troops should be allowed to chase after the opponent. This would be allowed as long as no individual model in the unit moves further than the distance rolled on the dice (effectively the pursuing troops move in the same way as the fleeing troops). The pursuing unit may end up in an odd formation. This is not intended to allow pursuing units to change formation willy-nilly; they may only change formation in order to catch an opponent.

No. The summary card is wrong - fleeing troops always move towards their own table edge during compulsory moves if at all possible.

The pursuing unit moves its full distance. The fleeing unit is removed from the game.

No. The rules judge the fleeing unit as caught based upon the distance each unit actually moves. That is why terrain penalties are factored in. The rule book does not enumerate every possible battlefield condition that might restrict a pursuer's movement. One should factor in all conditions that restrict movement.
