Normally they would move 20 cm, but as they must fire their shortbows as well as move, they must refer to the Move and Fire modifiers on their [[profile-sheets|Profile Sheet]]. Goblins with short bows lose 1/2 their normal movement if they move and fire. So on this turn Morgab's archers have their movement cut from 20 cm to 10 cm.

If you score under or equal to the amount left over, another enemy figure is killed and removed from play or character wounded. If you score over the remainder you miss.

The elves cross reference their weapon with the orcs armour on their Basic Firing Percentage table and find they have a BFP of 18%. They then check the list of Firing Modifiers and find three which apply: 'Target moved over 10 cm this turn -1', 'Unit firing are huntmasters +3' and, as the orcs are formed up in two ranks, 'Per rank of target +2x2 = +4'. This means the Elves have a MFP of 24% (18 - 1 + 3 + 4 = 24). As ten Elves are firing they multiply 24 by 10 to get a FFP of 240%.

To find out if the 20% chance is successful they roll one D100 and score 23%, which is over 20% and therefore means they miss.
