 +The attacker places command/stack tokens on the table in a area (e.g. wall segment). 
 + 
 +These tokens represent a stack of troops between 1 and 8 units. For 5 or more units a large stack token should be used. This represents the fact that the bigger troop density is visible from the walls. Every stack should also contain the name of the player who is responsible for the fight in this area. 
 + 
 +The exact number of troops is still hidden from the defender. 
 + 
 +Next, the defender places his command/stack tokens and distributes his troops over the locations. 
 + 
 +The map umpires will then indicate to each pair of players intending combat to a combat table where both should go to resolve the outcome of the battle in that area. 
 + 
 +In this area, attacker and defender will open their stacks and three fighting rounds are resolved. 
 + 
 +== Reason for combat tables == 
 + 
 +   * There is not enough space on the central map for 8 battles on 8 wall segments. 
 +   * The attacks on the wall segments are independent. 
 +     * The decision to retreat or fight another round should not be based on the results of a other segment.

 +   - Defender declares if he wants to retreat
