Buildings and Banners
« on: Mar 28, 2012, 06:32:16 PM »
I have been struggling to improve my ogre lot when it comes to fighting in buildings and so i thought well if i put the bsb in there with an eternal flame banner.. that would help a lot but here is my question:

If i do not put the BSB in with the 10 attackers/defenders for combat - do those 10 (3 in our case) still get flaming attacks?

I am thinking yes as the banner grants the unit flaming attacks and even if the BSB was in a rank/on a flank that couldnt participate in the fight, the unit would till have flaming attacks.

I guess the same question could be applied to our dragonhide banner, charge a building, get repelled, rinse and repeat as long as i kept it safe out of the combat.

Yes a magic banner effect that affects the whole unit does so even if the banner bearer isn't in base contact or part of the fighting party in a building. It even works if the BSB refuses a challenge!

The only time it won't work is if the effect pertains to the banner bearer. So a DHB rerolls affect the whole unit whether part of the assault or not. The breath weapon requires you to be in base contact though.
