If an assaulting unit is close enough to terrain that it seems like a test would be a possibility you would simply declare that they are assualting then before actually moving the moldels check to see if a test is necessary. If so, roll dice. If not, make movements.

If you're gonna do Wheel of Time 'counts as' based around Perrin I think you have to go with Space Wolves. I know it almost seems too obvious, but seriously Canis Wolfborn as Perrin. Now wolves, aka Fenrisian wolves are troops. Rune Priests for Asha'Men. Long Fangs would be your Two Rivers bowmen. Your Grey Hunters can be the Aeil, with Wolf Scouts as Maidens of the Spear. For characters like Tam, Rhuarc and other Clan Chiefs you can use Wolf Guard. A Lone Wolf for Elyas Machera. I am still trying to figure out Faile, maybe a Wolf Priest wtih some Blood Claws to represent Cha'Faile, not sure that really fits though.____Anyway, I'm really mad about this because I never before wanted to build a Space Wolves army, now I am seriously considering this!

I had to smile when you mentioned Founders Dirty Bastard. I've been a mug club member at Founders for a few years now. Dirty Bastard is a great beer, but my favorite of theirs is their Breakfast Stout. If you haven't tried it yet I highly reccomend it.
