They can also throw a SAGA die onto a box to get another die or 2 in the personal combat. If your opponent declines the personal combat, you get the ability automatically. If the ability is good, they're likely to accept the personal combat and then you dice it off, with high roll winning. Losing side takes off a figure, representing the poor fellow who lost. <br /><br />This has become as long as some posts!
