Additional Penalties for Technical Defeats in Stronghold Raids

If both detachments have no players who confirm their readiness to fight, the following occurs:

  • Both Clans suffer technical defeat.
  • All structures in the Zone of the attacking Clan lose durability as if they were pillaged.
  • All structures in the Zone of the defending Clan lose durability as if they were pillaged.
  • The Battle for Stronghold ends.
Combat Reserves Added to Absolute Skirmishes

Detachment commanders will be able to select combat reserves for usage in Absolute Strongholds (tier X vehicles).  Preparation and usage of combat reserves follows the same process as used in Stronghold Raids.
