A couple more questions of relevance, this time concerning battles...

6. After at-start-of-battle effects go off (like the Ranger's First Shot ability), do the two forces immediately clash in melee or do ranged fighters attack in a round before the melee fighters clash?
7. How much range do Rangers and Sorcerers have? Two tiles? Three tiles? Ten?
8. Is there an order in which attacks are executed, or does everyone attack at once?
