Ivory hybrid dragons both always attack the army and are attacked by white dragons and hybrid and elemental dragons that don't match the ivory hybrid's color. I would like to make sure I am breaking this down correctly.

Let's say we have an ivory and gold hybrid and two elemental red dragons at a terrain. The army marches, so the dragons attack.
The ivory gold hybrid attacks the army, but the reds attack the ivory gold hybrid.
The ivory gold hybrid rolls jaws. The reds each roll claws.
The army gets to respond to the ivory gold hybrid. It has to save against 12 points of damage.
Although the reds have already rolled enough damage to kill the ivory gold hybrid, the army gets a chance to kill it, and if it can inflict the 10 points of damage necessary, it will kill the ivory gold hybrid and thus get to promote units.

... Or maybe not? Dragon damage is applied in step 5 of a Dragon Attack. Armies roll in step 6.

... Or maybe so? Last item of step 6 says "Dragons and armies both do damage simultaneously". Presumably this means dragons damage each other at the same time an army would damage any dragon that attacked it.

Thanks!

In the 3.01 rules (I know, not published yet), all dragon attacks vs other dragons happen first, and the damage is resolved. Then any dragons attacking the armies happen. We may need to revisit that, otherwise, Ivory and Ivory Hybrid are very much weaker.
