I have a friend of mine who uses army builder for dwarves and wood elves. I don't play either army, so I don't have either codex. My friend told me that army builder prevents you from giving more than one wood elf unit the same type of magical arrows. I didn't see that rule when I read through the codex. Is this true that magical items can't be replicated for units? Armybuilder also allows dwarves to get two spelleater runes. Is this legal also?
My last question has to do with incomplete rear ranks being attacked in melee. If I have a unit locked in a flank attack with another unit, and then my unit gets attacked in the rear, how do you allocate the troops to defend the back incomplete rank? I know the rear attacker gets all of his attacks, even if he is contact with an incomplete rear rank. Do I pull men from a middle rank up to the rear to fight back? That is what my friend is claiming.
Normally I interpret it as when I have an incomplete rank defending from a rear attack, only those models in base contact to the rear get to strike back. If I have five models in the rear rank, those five are the only ones that can fight, assuming they don't get wiped out first due to initiative and so forth. My friend is claiming I have to pull men from a middle rank, and lets say add five more men to the rear to fight. That interpretation really isn't jiving with me, and my friend is stubborn as a goat when he rules lawyer. Which interpretation is correct?
