I'd say the flag is lost if a character falls down (for whatever
reason, ie knocked down, slips on a slippery hex, whatever).

If the flag is just on a figure's body, it can be stolen with a
successful DX throw (ie, be in an adjacent hex and roll to hit).
If the flag is in a ready weapon slot, not only must the attacker
roll to hit but, if they are successful, they must win a contest
of ST to actually grab the flag out of the carrier's hands.

With wizards around, this game could become VERY interesting!
