Me and my brother played a few games this weekend and we came across a few rules questions that I will be reading up on, searching, and possibly asking on these forums. One such question came up during a fight between my Ashman Hakar and his Skorza Leader, Korrad Ungarash.
Korrad attacked my Hakar with his Rending Pounce attack, rolling 5 dice against my poor wounded leader (2 wounds already, only 1 life left). However, even with his inspired Offensive Expertise re-roll, none of his 5 dice resulted in a hit. Instead, he got a parry and I decided use Counterattack with my Hakar. I rolled 2 dice (1 rate attack but the Hakar has Offensive Mastery (1) at all times). Both of my rolls were misses and both resulted in a dodge, so it didn't matter which die I removed from the results. This allowed Korrad to use his Elusive Strike ability against my Hakar, rolling one die. This one die finally rolled a hit and sealed the fate for my Hakar.
However, story aside, my question is would it be possible to be stuck in a silly infinite loop of Counterattack and Elusive Strike if the dice kept rolling parries and dodges? Counterattack says it can only happen once per attack, but I believe the Elusive Strike is a new attack than the original attack that rolled a parry and thus, Counterattack could happen again on Elusive Strike. This wouldn't really affect game play besides having to keep rolling until the dice didn't roll a parry or block. Though, I suppose Korrad would be free to move 2" each time a Counterattack gives him a dodge (assuming an enemy unit is within 2") and could possibly move an incredible distance.
