        The rules are pretty clear, I thought.

        What do you mean by this? That you roll 1 die
for each enemy in base-to-base, regardless of how many
stands you have in base-to-base? That's a pretty odd
interpretation.

        I think the original poster simply misread the
Rampage rules (or maybe we misread them and he got them
right...).

        Well you do, kinda. You roll dice equal to the
number of models you have in base contact with enemy
models, and apply hits against any enemy models in base
contact with your own. It all seemed fairly easy &
intuitive to me (but then, I'm the one who misread the
supporting fire rules...).
