Kreoseus wrote Hi Guys I got the rules a few days ago and love them, despite a 100% defeat record so far.  You sound like me :)   The rules seem to say that troops with shooting I and II can only fire from the front rank, but those with the long range  abity can shoot from the second rank. Yes. Artillery ability - I wanted to buy this ability for a monstrous creature, making it a stone throwing ent. This would make it way superior to a monstrous creature with shooting I. Do I pay 3 ap for artillery (buy shooting I, shoting II, then artillery ) or just 1ap ? If it was my creature, I would go Monstrous amd buy Shooting 1, and II. That way I would still have movement, a great FS and More. Then again, I am building a Wolven Artillery unit that is Chained so it has little movment, but is basically, artillery. Is there any limit to which abilities can be bought together ? For example, if I want a balrog to lead my orc army, do I buy the general for 5ap, then pay another 3 ap for monstrous, spell user and lord and master or are some of these incompatible ? You could do that, and he would be very powerful, but if someone gets a lucky shot in.. that is a big chunk of your army. If a single unit fights a group and is beaten, but not doubled, is the single unit dead as the group has won, and the single unit is the only possible casualty ? If he is not doubled, he is driven back. When is the magic phase for spell casting ? Is it during the missile phase ? Shooting Phase. Is there a quick reference sheet available for download ? Working on it. Thanks in advance Phil

Desaster,

My understanding is that you can add Shooting to any unit.  This means that if you have a heavy infantry unit and would like them to have Shooting I it cost an additional 1 point.  If you want to add shooting II it cost a total of 2 additional points (1 point for Shhting I and 1 point for Shooting II).  In this manner any unit can have ranged fire if you pay for it.  Only archers adn crossbows get Shooting I for free as part of their standard cost.

The rules are a little unclear on this, btu it has been discussed here a few tiems recently since the launch fo the new rulebook.
