Apparently I _did_ understand. :-) But this is a change, that
instead of going up as high as they want, they go just high enough
to get over their cover, then see what they can shoot at.

So there is an HQ unit per detachment, and all members of
the detachment must be within 30 cm of that HQ unit.
Can you have more than one detachment of the same units,
so you could have (for instance) Land Speeders on both ends
of the battle?

Do you use one orders die per detachment? I only thought of
expense because I pictured having as many orders dice as we
currently have of each kind of orders counter. Since
detachments can get bigger, do you only have about 3 per
side? Or does each detachment not necessarily get an orders
die?
