How Many Attacks?

Rulebook

The models in the incomplete rank are moved to be in contact with their enemies.

incomplete-ranks-flank

Full lines = Attacks normally; Dotted lines = Can make a supporting attack; If casualties inflicted on the red unit causes the unit to be separated, move the blue unit forward to maximise contact.

incomplete-ranks-rear

Gaps where models are missing from a rank do not prevent models from fighting. If a unit is fighting to its flank, the models in the incomplete rank are moved into contact with the enemy, there to fight and be fought normally. If the unit is fighting to its rear (or fighting to both flanks) some enemy models might not end up in base contact because of the models in the incomplete rear rank. In this specific situation, the models can fight across the gap, even if not physically in base-to-base contact. Treat these models as being in base contact with the enemy. 

Incomplete Ranks

Unlike other phases of the game, the combat phase offers both sides a chance to inflict damage, although it is the player whose turn it is who will be the one choosing the order of the combats. All close combats must be resolved during this phase – a unit in combat cannot choose not to fight, for whatever reason. Most combats involve a single unit fighting a single opposing unit, so that's what we will discuss first. Sometimes however, you'll end up with a multiple close combat where there is more than one unit fighting on one or both sides. Multiple close combats have some additional rules, which you will find discussed towards the end of the chapter. As all the rules for a normal close combat also apply to a multiple close combat, you'll probably find it easier (and clearer) if you just work your way through the section.
