Hi!
I'd say this is how it should work. Whole detachments and units fire "en
bloc" at another unit/detachment. Otherwise it gets too chessy. Actually
maybe even titans and proeatorians should not be allowed to do it except
for certain weapons like AA.

If you go with Rune's route,
You should have to allocate all your shots for a unit/detachment in
one go (just like regular firing). If you don't do this you end up
with the "I fire with this unit ... hmmm didn't kill it ... now I fire
with this unit ... didn't kill it again ... now I fire this unit ...
etc. etc. etc.". Which is a much better firing strategy than the
system used for standard shooting.
The system for snapfire should be something like:
o Pick a detachement to snapfire with and a unit to snapfire at,
o Pick dice to snapfire with,
o Determine results,
o That detachment is done snapfiring at that unit. (can't do it again).
Perhaps this is an already well understood problem,
