Multiple firefights
| [Content from Rule Book page 28.] |
Once again, in an ideal world you should be able to resolve discrete firefights between detachments. However, as any detachment with units within 15cm of the enemy is automatically involved in a firelight (it can't choose not to be involved), firefights between multiple detachments are inevitable.
Where one or more detachments are within 15cm of two or more enemy detachments, resolve the whole thing as a single large firefight. It is possible that you could end up with several detachment vs detachment firefights and some multiple firefights in the same turn.
Multiple firefights
Here, 2 Space Marine detachments have cornered the Orks and both have units within 15cm. In the subsequent firefight they add together the firepower of all the units within 15cm, from both detachments. This gives them one total to compare with the Orks' firepower. If the Space Marines lose, both detachments will take a hit and receive a Blast marker. They will both be broken and have to retreat.
