Proof of Valour
(Rule)Description: When a model with this special rule suffers an unsaved Wound during the Fight Sub-phase while locked in combat with at least one enemy unit whose majority Weapon Skill is 5 or more, it can make a special Proof of Valour roll to avoid suffering the wound.
Roll a D6 each time an unsaved Wound is suffered. On a result of 5+, the unsaved Wound is discounted – treat it as having been saved. On any other result the Wound is taken as normal.
This is a Damage Mitigation roll – any model may make only a single Damage Mitigation roll of any type for any given Wound.
If one or more Wounds is discounted due to this special rule, and the unit that beneffited from this special rule has not been entirely removed as casualties or forced to Fall Back, then at the end of the Fight Sub-phase, that unit is said to have proved their valour. At the end of the battle, if any units from a player’s army proved their valour, that player scores 1 additional Victory point.
