Hi gents.
We had following situation
Modell charging a Hero. The modell were causing a criticla hit and the attacked Hero has the Step aside skill.
So far so good.
When do you actually do no the "Step aside" on 5+
1) Do you do only 1 "step aside" on 5+ for the critical hit ?
2) Do you have to do 2 "step aside" rolls on 5+ as the critical hit is causing normaly 2 wounds (provided the hero has only 1 wound) ?
Somehow the "Step aside" skill in this reference is missleading (in my opinion) as it is telling that it happens after normal armour save happens and in this case no armor save were allowed.
Regards Claus

As you roll armour saves between scoring a wound and rolling on the injury chart, I would say you roll one Step Aside save before rolling on the Critical table.

I think you roll once before you roll on the injury table, but after the critical hit. Once only because a critical hit is still one hit only, even though it may cause several wounds.
