Risk Board Game question involving ties.?
So, I just started playing the board game Risk and it is a lot of fun but while I was playing one scenario came up that I could jot figure out. Everywhere I looked did not have a specific answer. The question involves the attack and defend. I know that in the result of a Tie the defender always wins because what happens when the defenders highest dice is a tie with the attackers lowest dice.
Example: Attacker rolls (6:4:1) and the defender rolls. (4:2) or a (1:1) do either of these count as a tie.
Or does a tie only count if the highest dice is a tie with the other highest. Or the lowest dice is a tie with the lowest.
If someone can give a clear answer to least I would really appreciate it. I hate playing a game with the wrong set of rules, unless we specifically decide to play with the wrong rule for fun.

it's always in order of highest to lowest
That is: the highest attack die is compared to the higher defense die
the second-highest attack die is compared to the lower defense die
Example: Attacker rolls (6:4:1) and the defender rolls. (4:2)
attacker 6 beats defender 4
attacker 4 beats defender 2
I quote:
Resolve the Battle:
Pair up the attack and defense dice from highest to lowest. Then, for each pair of dice, do the following:
• If the attack die is higher, remove one defending troop from the battle and place it in the off-the-board troop pile.
• If the defense die is the same number as, or higher than, the attack die, remove one attacking troop and place it in the off-the-board troop pile. (The defender always wins a tie.)
After all dice pairs are resolved, the battle is over. See the battle example below
