\pagebreak

\* May withdraw from combat if opponents dice roll shows no effect.

\# Note that less-powerful Magic-Users must apply their Die Modifier to their 2d6 dice roll.

† Use this row for Elves attacking with magic swords only! Elves armed with magic arrows attack as Heroes. There is no column (Defender) for Elves, because they always defend as Medium Infantry (MI) on the Mass Combat Table (MCT).

‡ Trolls can only be killed by Elementals, Giants, Heroes, and Super Heroes. However, other figures armed with a magic sword can kill a Troll on a roll of 2d6 > 7.

*Instructions*: Cross reference the attacker's row with the defender's column to find the target value, X. Then compare a 2d6 dice roll to X as follows--

* 2d6 < X means no effect
* 2d6 = X means that the defender must fall back 1 move
* 2d6 > X means that the defender is killed
