Now compare the final totals of your element and its opponent, then immediately make the outcome move (if any) specified below. This depends on your element’s type and that of the enemy element that is the primary shooter or in front edge-to-front edge combat with it, but not that of elements aiding shooting at it, overlapping it or of an element in frontal contact with its flank or rear if another is in contact with its front.
Elements disregard outcomes when:
• Shooting without being shot back at.
• In close combat against a flank edge of an enemy fighting to its front or rear or against a rear edge. • Fighting only as an overlap.
However, if the element fighting an enemy element’s front is required to recoil or flee, or is repulsed, spent or destroyed, a friendly element in front edge contact with that enemy element’s flank or rear recoils.
If an element’s total is more than that of its opponent:
Press forward or pursue if mandatory or if optional and player wishes to. Otherwise stand unless the exception below applies:
Expendables. Pursue straight ahead. If an element’s total is equal to that of its opponent: Stand unless one of the exceptions below applies.
