The main rulebook states that in an assault after one wound is allocated to an infantry model with multiple-wounds, any additional wounds must be placed on that specific model until it is removed. So here is my question...
Is that per initiative step or per phase? -I assume it is not per turn.
Permit me to outline a scenario: imagine a five-man squad of infantry contains a high initiative independent character (let's say initiative 5), four initiative 4 regular dudes, and a slow slug with an axe at initiative 1. They are fighting Warriors or Nobs or some such unit with two wounds each. Imagine too that most of them are in base-to-base combat with more than one enemy.
Our independent character scores a wound at the initiative 5 step. The opponent places one wound on a model in base to base. At the initiative 4 step another wound is scored and placed on a different model. At initiative 1 the axe man lands another wound. This is placed on yet a third model.
Three wounds and nobody dead. Would that be legal in 6th? I did not enjoy that stuff in 5th and hoped we'd seen the last of it.
