Chain (CoH)

For other uses of the term, see chain.

The player removes the hellhound in the center...

...which creates three attack chains and one wall, giving them four bonus moves

A Chain in Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes is an attack formation or wall that is created by removing a unit or a wall, instead of moving a unit. Creating a chain will give the player one bonus move, but removing the unit or wall also costs a move, so there is no move gain. If removing the unit creates more than one chain in a single move, the player can actually gain moves.

Creating chains can be a good way of making several attack formations or walls in a single turn, as there is no limit to the number of chains that can be created in a turn, provided that the player has units in the required positions.
