When does a challenge end? -Old world (self.warhammer)

This situation came up where my friends General charged my unit. They issued a challenge which I accepted with my units champion. My lowley spearman sargeant obviously got curb stomped (lol) but now is the challenge over and my lower initiative unit can hit back at his general or do challenges, regardless of outcome, remain until the next turn?

Thanks!

Yeah I feel like that does make sense. It just felt weird having all the rest of my 15 man squad standing around doing nothing. My opponent did mention if your unit could just fight back it would basically remove the incentive to challenge as you'd just get clubbed to death after.

I appreciate your insights I did not know that is how it worked in previous editions.

Yes it's a little unintuitive when it's just one character fighting a whole unit. I suppose they are contributing in the sense that they add the rank bonus to the combat resolution. And it's an advantage to you because you only lose your champ instead of having the general chop up 5 of your lads.

I guess that is true I hadn't thought of that. I did end up winning technically when calculating the CR which I was not expecting, likely due to the rank bonus.
