Just as JP said.  Essentially, its impossible to be locked in combat with someone you can't see.

Can a missile weapon equipped soldier use his missile weapon or sidearm at will, or do they need to swop them over with a action?
E.g. if I close combat a archer who had shot as me does he count as unarmed until he gets his dagger out?

No he doesn't count as unarmed. Assume he has time to whip his weapon out.

Just finished digging through the previous pages here and can't seem to find an answer to this:

If an uncontrolled creature is in combat with multiple opponents, who does it fight?

We have been randomizing it but I can't find anything one way or the other.

From memory i think it attacks the opponent with the lowest health? but that may be ranger of shadow deep.

Speaking of which is this the right place for a rangers of shadow deep rule question?

Trying to think through different combat scenarios also led our group to this questions:

If your warband member is in combat wiith a single enemy and you manage to take control of the enemy with a mind control spell, are the two figures still in combat even though they are now friendly to each other?

No, they are now simply in base to base contact (well unless you're unhinged enough to want two friendly models to fight each other).

@giles that is what I assumed as well it just occurred to me that all the conversations about combat have emphasized how the only ways to leave it are by pushing away after winning a fight action or by having some kind of magical movement cast on you.

Figures in the same warband are never in combat. When a figure is mind controlled, it becomes a temporary member of your warband, thus the figures are not in combat anymore.

Just checking in on this one to see if there is a general answer.

My friends and I are late to the party. We enjoy the game very much and are looking forward to the new edition.
Joe, I hope you still have time for our questions.  :-*

If a model has Blinding Light cast on it, it cannot attack anymore. But it can still make Fight rolls to defend itself when being attacked or shot at, we assumed.
Blinding Light states that the Fight value is reduced to zero, but is this before or after modifiers like
*Terrain, when being shot at
*Supporting Figures
*Enchanted/Magic Weapon
*Strength and Combat Awerness
*Curse
*other modifiers I dont know about  :D

When being attacked, the blind fighter can still win the fight and damage the attacker?

Can a blind fighter force combat?

Does a blind fighter count for Supporting Figures?

For the modifiers in combat, yes they would apply.

This could eman with a high dice roll, they could defeat an opponent.

IMHO

Haver to think whether they can force combat, but, my gut says yes, though they'd be on a losing hand really.

IMHO

Yes, it counts as a supporting fighter. Its still an enemy, its still in combat, its still a threat and a distraction.

Reduce the figure's current Fight to +0 - this is true whatever modifiers it currently has for spells, magic items, etc.  When it comes to the fight - then apply all modifiers that apply to that fight - so it could get +2 for a supporting figure.

When attacked, it can (in fact must) roll to defend itself. It can win the fight and cause damage as normal.

It can force combat. It does count as a supporting figure.
