- A leader casualty check is taken BEFORE retreats are resolved
- If the unit takes casualties in ranged combat, roll 2 dice and if both are swords the leader is killed and the opponent gets a victory banner.
- If the unit takes casualties in close combat OR the unit is eliminated in close combat or ranged combat, roll 1 die and if it is a sword, the leader is killed and the opponent gets a victory banner.
- If the unit was eliminated but the leader survived the casualty check, he must retreat or commit seppuku.
- If the leader is attacked alone, the attacking unit rolls dice as normal and any sword hit will kill the leader. Note that a bow unit cannot target a leader in ranged combat because they do not hit on swords.
