Spear

An Infantry model armed with a spear may assist a friendly model during a Combat, so long as their ally has the same base size or smaller - this is called Supporting.

If a spear-armed model is not Engaged in Combat, then it can Support a friendly model in base contact. When they do, they contribute a single dice to the Duel Roll of the Combat the model they are Supporting is part of. This dice uses the Supporting model's own Fight Value, and if they win they will make a single Strike using their own Strength. In a Multiple Combat, a Supporting model doesn't have to Strike the same model as the model it is Supporting.

Models that are Supporting do not count as being involved in the Combat they are Supporting. As a result, they cannot be targeted by Strikes, will not be knocked Prone by a Charging Cavalry model, cannot benefit from a Heroic Combat, and never count as being part of the Combat for the purpose of special rules or determining how many models are taking part on each side.

A spear-armed model can only Support a single Combat during each Fight Phase. A spear-armed model cannot Support a Combat after already being Engaged in Combat. The only exception to this is that a spear-armed model that is involved in a successful Heroic Combat, and therefore gets to Move, may Move to Support a Combat, provided it hasn't Supported another Combat that Fight Phase.

A model with a spear can use it as a hand weapon when they are Engaged in Combat. A model can't Support if it is Prone, rendered unable to Activate or has made a Shooting Attack during the same turn.

A Hero that is Supporting may use Might Points to improve a Duel Roll or To Wound Rolls as normal. However, a Hero that has declared a Heroic Action in the Fight Phase cannot support during that Fight Phase.
