Hey there @JHunter, welcome to the Discourse 
!
Sorry to hear you are having difficulties with combat in the game. Hopefully we can help figure out what is going on, and if something is bugged get it fixed. Before we start troubleshooting, I want to direct your attention to our forum Rules & Guidelines, specifically our Golden Rule.
As for the issue, without screenshots, repro-steps, or more details, there isnât much we can do to help. When you say the âgroup run commandâ, do you mean the move flag? As for the defend flag, before the most recent builds, there were known issues with how Hearthlings reacted when they were actively fighting and had a defend flag. Please provide some more details so we can help you out. Also, what specific build you are running will be very useful.
