Skull Pass title bar
Having more than two units in a combat can be tricky, so play this exercise to make sure you know what to do in this gaming situation. Alternate playing through the turns while referring to the profiles on pp. 4-5 of the Battle for Skull Pass getting started booklet, and assume the two Goblin units have just charged. Again, remember that all units get to fight in each player's turn. Once you are familiar with the rules for movement, shooting, and combat, you are ready to fight the epic Battle for Skull Pass.

FIGHTING THE BATTLE

Take turns completing a Close Combat Phase. Don't worry about the Moving and Shooting Phases — just concentrate on combat.

• The Goblins attack first in the 1st turn because they have charged (but cannot use their spears).

• Remember, in each Close Combat Phase, both players get to fight.
WINNING THE GAME
The first person to wipe out their opponent — either by slaying them all or forcing them to fail a Break test — wins!
