Description of the bug

For some reason, the Quenoth Fighter line of units appear to have gained extra attacks that don't do anything. (I don't know what was intended, but at least on the version I'm running, they merely have copies of their attacks that deal less damage)

Apparently, they use different number of "attacks" for each. Meaning, that 9-1 there can hit more than one opponent or the same opponent twice.
However, I see a very bad UX here since nothing of this note has been shown to the player (you).

Actually, it's here but not many would take time to read a unit text:

SO, this is not at all intuitive or explained. If they make the 9-2 attack, their turn ends. If they make the 9-1 attack first, they can follow it up with the 9-2 attack.

The unit text doesn't explain at all how the ability actually works, and if you're a normal player who always uses the better attack first, you'll likely never figure it out.

Again, the heading was misleading. As best as I can see there are two issues:

• The reason for the seemingly duplicated attack entries is not clear at first - I take it that either the level 1 fighter can expend both of its attacks on one target, as conventional for most other main-line units, or only attack once and then possibly use its other attack on another target.
• This brings up the other problem in that the fighter can target one opponent with the single attack and then on the subsequent attack choose the double attack option.

I have no idea how it's supposed to be implemented. Since the order of attacks affects the number of attacks, which I assume wasn't intended.

Also the bug for UI and gameplay are already opened when it comes to attacks used.

The UI bug is #7367, but I don't see a bug for the gameplay. Where's the bug for a unit with attacks_left=1 still being able to use an attack with attacks_used=2?

This is intended? Should have an additional key to set that possibility to yes/no

So that's what those two reports are about, I didn't know they would impact main-line units. Could this be closed as duplicate then, or treated as a campaign-specific subset?

I think I'd probably say this is something that depends on those but might not be equivalent to them…?
