---> We play it so that an atacker must engage all the stands in the
enemy detachment with 1 stand before he can double up, then by two
before he can do it 3-1. This is provided that he can has movent to
reach all. If not, then he have to engage as many as he has within
reach.

--->This is my main grudge against the epic game system, the CC gets
too chaotic. We think it is best to resolve them in the order they
occur.
Player A moves his det A1 onto CC with unit B1, then player B moves
his det B2 to the rescue, into CC wit A1. Player A moves up his
reservedet A2 into CC with the rest. Quite a mess isn't it?
First we resolve CC A1/B1, A was the attacker, then he has already
chosen who to attack. Then we take CC B2/A1, bearing in mind who in
det A that has already been in CC. (Now B is the attacker) Then we
take CC A2 with the rest, following the same procedure.
Kind of chaotic, but it works.
