Assail

This is the command given to the villain to murder the target.

It can be selected when the Moriarty player selects the villain if they are in possession of a weapon, and the target is within their movement range.

The villain will chase after the target as long as they stay within movement range.

However, when performing the "Assail" command, the villain's action is performed last in the action order, and the villain's identity will be revealed to Sherlock.

This command can be selected even when a witness is present or the murder can be prevented, and if you fail at murdering the target it will be the final turn of the match.

It's also important to note that if the target moves outside of the movement range of the villain, the villain will move as close to the target as possible.

Lastly, it's not necessary to issue the assail command to kill the target. If all the necessary conditions are met to commit the murder, the villain will automatically kill the target.
