I doubt the time saved because of this would be a deciding
factor in how often we play :) We mostly play on weekends anyway,
and if it takes 4 hours or 5 on a Saturday really doesnt matter
much. I think the main issue, is as you say, that you don't like
to have a whole detachment stopped because one or two fails the
roll :) Well, i dont like to have a whole detachment wiped out
by a Vortex missile either, but i dont propose to change those
rules ;)

Well, the reason for us wanting to change this is twofold. First we will cut
time by rolling just once for each detachment, as you know one of the main
reasons for us not playing as often as we like, is that Epic is rather
timeconsuming. This change would make the game more time efficient, but it's
is just a bonus we get from the change. The main reason for this is that if
you have to roll for each unit under the template, you're almost certainly
going to miss on one of the units, making the rest of the detachment stop.
This seems sort of unfair. So what we are saying is that we have two options
in this case, either roll for the detachment, or let the units breake
cohernecy and leave their trapped comerads behind. Since we don't like to
mess with the cohernecy rules, we'd rather roll for each detachment. Now
we're going to have to test that over a couple of games, and if we find that
it works alright, we'll propose that change to the rules. We might want to
do some minor variations to the rules of course, in order to compensate for
some of the obvious loss of power for the slann/necron player!
