If one unit is in the deathzones of two friendly units that both rout in the same turn does it lose 2 cohesion points?

Example, all facing dow, how many CPs does AA take if both BB and CC rout in the same phase?

. AA
BBCC

I've always considered they would, but it has only come up on sequential melee phases, not in one phase.
So only a theoretical occurrence for me.
Far more common is one rout disordering two or more bases.

I presume that the same unit could get multiple hits from multiple elephant rampages in the same turn theoretically. So, I think the same unit should be able get multiple hits from multiple routing units. Or multiple hits from a combination of routing units and elephant rampages.

It’s never gonna actually happen tho!

No, you only take one cohesion point hit regardless of how many friendly units break that turn.

However, if a pursuing unit then hits you in the flank or rear and you are already in melee or melee support then you will drop a further cohesion point.

PS One elephant rampage is unfortunate, two smacks of incompetence, but you still only take one cohesion loss.

Hi Dave,
I sort of thought this was the case but it’s nowhere in the rules that I could find. Or did we miss it?

It's nowhere in the rules.
The only point is"every ennemi unit at 1 UD or less than the fleeing unit lose one cohesion point" page 68
So in the infortunate case when you are in the rear of 2 units that are routed, you loose 2 cohesion points.

Having searched the rules I see there's no limitation on the number of hits from "death zones" in a turn. So, yes two (or more) CP losses are possible.

I think my "confusion" arose because of the limit of one CP loss regardless of how many flank and rear attacks in a turn.
