If a guy is in a unit, we will say lord and there is only 1 rank, what happens if you refuse challenge?

 

[Kross]

you have to move him out of base contact with the challenger and replace him with a rank and file guy, if you can't do that you have to accept the challenge.

 

[cccp]

can the lord still fight though?

 

[Kross]

Not if he refuses the challenge, furthermore the unit will lose any benefit for having him until the end of that combat after which if he survives he will go back to the position he was in before the challenge. If you have a champion in the unit as well as the lord you can accept the challenge with him instead in which case the rest of the unit will still benefit from the lord.
