Special Rules[edit]
Primal Instinct: At the start of each Combat Round, units with this rule must take a Leadership test. If it succeeds, they must reroll failed to hit during that round. Can situationally be useful during Combat, but won't do anything more often than not due to your units poor Leadership.
Drunken: Units with this rule get to either be Sober (gains Vanguard and Light Troops but loses Scoring) or Drunk (Gains Immune to Psychology and Thunderous Charge but cannot Ambush).
Pack Tactics: When rolling for Charge range, if a unit has at least one model with this rule, and more than half it's frontage in the Charged units flank or rear arc, then that unit gains Swiftstride for this Charge Roll. This does not apply to pursuit.
