Insidious Madness - Hysteria

[13th Warrior]

Hysteria: Falling back models within 3" of this model may not Rally at the start of their activation unless they win a Wp -> Wp Duel.

If they fail the Wp duel (very likely), what do they do? Carry on Falling Back and move twice their walk, or stand around looking slightly bemused?

It came up in a game last night, and we went for the latter, but only because we couldn't figure out what else to do. Any thoughts?

Less bemused and more frozen to the spot.

They don't make further fall back moves, but the falling back condition remains (fate penalty, no move actions, etc). They would rally during the next activation (Assuming the Madness wasn't near them).

Rallying

A falling back model spends its next activation to rally. Until the end of that activation, the falling back model cannot perform any general or specific movement Actions and receives to any Duels it must perform except for Morale Duels. After the end of the model’s activation, it is no longer falling back, becomes rallied, and may continue to act as normal. Models passing their activation due to Paralyzed are rallied at the end of that activation.

They suffer from the same conditions as if they were rallying. IE the falling back model cannot perform any general or specific movement Actions and receives to any Duels it must perform except for Morale Duels. But would not be rallied at the end of the Activation so would have to Rally at the start of their next Activation.

As the duel forced by the madness isn't a morale duel (even though it has the same effect) - is it right to say it would be a neg flip?

Correct.
