Resolving Combat

Combat is resolved by throwing 2×2 Lego bricks of different colours for the attacker and defender, according to the values given in the chart below. Only the bricks that land on their sides are counted. Combat is resolved one-to-one. So if there are three attackers against a single defender, each attack is handled separately.

Soldier	1	Helmet	1
