Chaos in Cairo DR

[thebinmann]

I have a (stupid) questions about CiC DRs and acolytes. Is their DR worked out in the same way as singles? I ask this because I only have the frencg rules and it might have been lost in translation (either by them or me  ). My confusion was added too by TWF and Agis sites which had a DR for one group but not the other..

By acolytes do you mean the groups of 5 henchmen?

Yeah, That was the French word oops

I'm not sure if I've understood your question so apologies if what I'm about to say is irrelevant.

Henchmen groups act like a single figure so they only attack, etc once. If they are attacked they defend like a single figure, so you roll the number of dice equal to DR as usual, not once for each henchman, but instead of removing vitality points if you fail to match the DN you remove one henchmen model if it was a ranged attack and henchmen equal to the vitality a single character would have lost if it was a close combat attack.

There are some exceptions to the above. A henchman group attacked by multiple characters or groups splits up to fight them and behave like seperate groups, so could attack more than once. Ranged weapons with radius for example can also kill more than one henchman in ranged combat.
