Clarification on splitting attacks

[Threejacks]

We ran into this last session if I remember correctly.

 

The question was "do we need to assign all attacks from a unit first before throwing dice"?

 

According to the "Attacking" section on the final page of the rules,it appears that yes,a player needs to assign all attacks from an attacking unit first before throwing any dice(resolving).

 

Reference the first paragraph in "Attacking"."When a unit attacks,you must first pick the target unit(s) for the attacks."

 

Splitting up attacks from different or even the same source on an attackers warscroll is fine so long as its clear what attacks are going were before any dice are thrown.

 

Doesn't come into play much but I think I was getting a bit foggy on the definition so I wanted to clear things up.

You are correct.

To be fair, the only reason I was splitting attacks is because you suggested I could do this. I was not splitting attacks prior to your "fun fact" about how we could split attacks.

Honestly pax,I was foggy on it since I hadn't checked the rules in a while.

 

Your situation wasn't the first time we had played it without designated attacks so I just wanted to clear it up so we can all be on track now.
