Combat occurs when characters from different gangs (led by different players) are in the same area. This check is made at any time any player gets priority, except when a movement stack is being played. This means that if an action moves a character combat can occur as soon as that action resolves, but if the movement occures as part of a movement stack the combat will not occur until after the stack has ended.
When combat occurs each non-drained character deals its Attack in damage spread as its leader chooses among the opposing characters. After combat each player may retreat their characters.
It works as follows:
- The player with initiative assigns the damage of all his/her characters in one step.
- Each other player does the same, proceeding in turn order.
- All characters deal damage as they were assigned to.
- Each character may now move towards one of its home areas at double it's normal movement speed. This is called retreating. This movement is optional if there are no characters from the opposing gangs remaining on the area where combat occurred. The players declare the retreats in the same way damage is declared (in turn-order starting with the player with initiative).
- All retreat movement occurs simultaneously.
- All characters involved in the combat are drained.
