movement.

Docile: The rhino moves 6 in a random direction.

Enraged: The rhino charges 2d6 towards the nearest visible figure. Resolve a
brawl if the rhino makes it into base contact.

Rhinos roll 2d6 in a brawl and pick the highest result. They gain an automatic +1 to all
results, and add an additional +1 on the charge. If a rhino loses a brawl, they do not go out
of action. Instead, the victorious figure may make a full move in any direction.
Any figure shooting at a rhino must roll on the tables below.
