Swirling Melee
(Rule)Description: R&F models Engaged in Combat may be in positions in the unit where, based on the general rules for allocating attacks , they can either:
• Allocate attacks (includingSupporting Attacks) only towards enemy Characters or Champions
• Not allocate any attacks at all due to enemymodels fighting a Duel
Suchmodels may elect to allocate their Close Combat Attacks towards non-Champion R&F models of the same unit instead, exactly as if these R&F models were in the position of the enemy Character or Champion . Note that Swirling Melee cannot be used by Characters .
Figure figure/allocate_attacks illustrates how attacks can be allocated in a complex case.

Example forallocating attacks .The Champion of unit B (Ch) and Character C_2 are locked in a Duel (indicated by the chess pattern). This means that they can only allocate attacks towards each other. The magenta and green models can allocate attacks towards the R&F models of the other unit. The models with a bold frame can allocate attacks towards Characters /Champions . The models in fainter colours with dashed frames cannot attack at all. Character C_1 cannot attack because the only model it is in base contact with is a Champion that is locked in a Duel. If C_1 was a R&F model, it could allocate attacks towards the magenta R&F models .
