Cthulhu Wars
Can you declare a Battle with units that have no Combat?
The designer confirmed the minimum-Combat rule, and the rulebook's Battle section states it.

No. The attacking faction needs at least 1 Combat among its units in the Area. Units with 0 Combat, such as a lone Nightgaunt or the Elder Gods Bast, Nodens and Hagarg Ryonis, cannot start a Battle by themselves. A Battle can still be aimed at a defender with 0 Combat, such as Cultists, as long as the attacker rolls at least one die.
