Doh - fighting different opponents - Cohesion tests

[Switzer]

Hi

Bit basic question-

When we have to fight 2 different opponents -
do you do all the combat and then do one cohesion
test - if you would have had 2 test - ie lost 2 combats
would you just use the -1 for more than one reason
to test ?
Thats the way we have been playing it and i just
realised there is nothing i can find in the rules to tell me
if i am right

A BG cannot "lose 2 combats". It only counts as losing a combat if it suffers more hits than it inflicts overall.

It could therefore "lose" against one enemy BG, win against the other, and if it inflicted at least as many total hits as it inflicted it hasn't lost at all and does not have to test.

Even if it "loses" against both enemy BGs it has in fact only lost one combat, and only has one cause to test.
