5.8 Interception

🛡️ Intercepting Enemies

If a warrior is within 2” of an enemy’s movement path, and not already engaged in close combat, that warrior may intercept the enemy.

• The intercepting warrior moves into the enemy’s path.
• The enemy counts as charging the intercepting warrior.
• Each moving enemy can be intercepted by only one warrior.
• Interception can be made against all types of enemy moves:
  • Normal moves
  • Running moves
  • Charging moves
  • Flying moves
• If either model causes fear, apply fear as normal.

Important: Warriors Cannot “Step Up” to Intercept

• To intercept a move or charge, the warrior must be on the flanks of the movement path as shown in the diagram.
• This means a warrior cannot intercept if positioned behind the original target of the charge.
• For example, if a warrior charges from the left to the right, a comrade behind the warrior on the right cannot “step up” to intercept.
