Trying to iron out these questions that are popping up before I run Assault on the Wound tomorrow.
- If a ranged group is engaged in melee, do they continue to use their Ranged OM or are they rendered ineffective until they perform a retreating maneuver?
- Special abilities. Example, channel planar energy. Is it used over their Melee/Ranged phase or in addition?

1. Unless an army's statistics explicitly say that it has no melee attack (which none of the armies in this scenario do), it uses its OM for both melee and ranged attacks. "Ranged" tells you that it can attack in ranged phases, (barring other abilities) with the same modifier.
2. Check the description of each ability, as they work differently. The Riftwardens' Channel Planar Energy does 1d4 points of damage to an extraplanar army that they attack in the Melee phase, whether they damage it with their normal attack or not. They don't get this ability in a Ranged phase.
