14.2: Front and rear

Units may issue the behind command to declare whether they will line the front or the rear in battle. Rear units do not become targets for the enemy until all of the units in the rows in front of them have been killed. Only missile fighters, such as archers, may attack from the rear.

The leader of each stack (the top-most unit in the stack) will be the last unit to receive hits, regardless of its behind status.
