Disengage action.. how?

[DimLit]

How do you resolve this action? I am confused when the rules say. “After resolving the attack (if any) this model pushes up to its MV. If the attack was successful, instead of its normal effects reduce this models push by 2/4/6..”

Is damage a normal effect? Do you declare to disengage, then this forces an attack, if the attack is successful instead of damage and secondary effects you push with a distance reduced 2/4/6?

Correct.

You would take no damage, the disengage action tells us that the reduction in the push distance is instead of its normal effects

What’s “base damage”?  That’s not a game term or rules mechanic.

The “normal effects” of an action are it’s effect text (the part after the italics, if any).  When resolve a disengaging strike, you don’t resolve the effect text.

To be clear: The model doesn't take damage, at all. The only effect is reducing the push distance.

Hold a moment...

Are you telling me that, after the disengage duel, you still have to FLIP for damage, and using the "weak-medium-severe" system to reduce distance (ignoring the damage and other effects, of course) ?
If this is the case, I've been playing this SO WRONG for months.

Yes, just as it says. If you declare the disengage action, your oppoonent can choose 1 model to try and stop you. That model attacks you. If it hits it flips to see if it has weak, moderate or severe effect, and reduces your push by that much. Then regardless of suces or failure on the attack duel you may push out of combat (as long as you still can).

So you can't fully tie up a model anymore, it almost certainly will move even if you "hit" it.

Thank you for the clear explanation  
I always supposed that wasn't a FLIP for damage. Until today, I always calculate the reduced distance using the difference between the opposite duels.
