Yes, that's exactly what I meant, and I think it is wrong. In the first
game I played we fought a close combat and rolled to remove each model in
contact after the cc result was determined. So, if your opponent had two
stands in contact, you got to roll for each. Upon reflection, I think this
was a mistake. Upon further reflection, I realize that maybe I was
projecting my own stupidity into the example that was posted.

Maybe so. Or maybe I misunderstood his specific situation. I believe he
meant that his rampagers that were out of range were destroyed when his
detachment lost hth. When I originally read it I thought he meant that a
couple of opposing rampagers had decimated his unit by killing stands that
weren't in hth.

Well, we agree on this, then. Apparently, I'm just crocked.
