Detachment Rule
Martial Leverage
The weighing of costs in Kin lives and materiel expended against prospective material benefits is an instinct amongst kinhost commanders. Those who lead needgaârd oathbands leverage the deaths of their foes into these equations at every opportunity. Crushing the enemy’s soldiery and war engines can shift the balance of martial power, enabling a canny commander to spend the advantage it provides elsewhere.
Each time an enemy unit is destroyed, you gain 1YP.
