- If there are insufficient Fortune and Honor tokens to pay for a retreating unit, the opponent rolls 4 die and applies the result based on what caused the retreat. Sword, Flag, and Honor and Fortune results are ignored for these rolls unless otherwise noted.
o Unit Retreating – All symbols matching the retreating unit inflict a hit on that unit. All other symbols inflict one hit on the nearest unit that matches that symbol. The controlling player decides which unit in case of ties.
o Leader Retreating – Any sword symbols rolled will eliminate the leader. All other symbols inflict one hit on the nearest unit that matches that symbol. The controlling player decides which unit in case of ties.
o Dragon Cards – Each symbol rolled will inflict one hit on a unit in the army of the controlling player’s choice.

Each symbol rolled, that matches the symbol on the retreating unit will eliminate 1 block in the unit that retreated. If the last block in the retreating unit is eliminated the opposition player gains a Victory Banner. Any additional symbols that match the symbol on the retreating unit will not cause another unit to lose blocks.

Each symbol rolled, that does not match the symbol on the retreating unit will eliminate 1 block to the nearest unit in the army with a matching symbol. If the last block in that unit is eliminated the opposition player gains a Victory Banner. Any additional symbols once this unit is eliminated will not cause another unit to lose blocks.
