Exactly how many rerolls do you get for Elites - one per model/stand, or one per formation?

One counter per detachment would be my reading.

why not every stand in a detachment. give you some more arguments to use elite units. and hey, every stand is a elite unit!

we have played it this way the last games, and this was one of the few thinks which did not lead to a discussion...and i was so happy! :confuse:

Next question about Elites...exactly what does a reroll counter do for you? Does it allow you to :-

a) Re-roll a single die affecting an Elites unit?
b) Re-roll all dice involved in a single roll? (i.e. all attack dice for a shooting attack, all dice used in a close combat attack, etc)
c) Re-roll all FAILED dice in a single roll? (i.e. all attack dice for a shooting attack that missed)

Please don't just tell me your opinion if possible - tell me where in the rules this is...

You get one re-roll counter than can be used "once per game on any die roll that any Elite unit makes" ?- P33 NetEpic 5.0 Core Rules.

Now comes the slight word-smithing. ?Die is singular...so this could be interpreted as "pick up and re-roll exactly one die, including tests where multiple dice were originally rolled", or at a stretch "re-roll anything that required you test with 1 die". ?I figure the latter is unusually limiting and a twee silly so we can scratch it. ?The former seems the literal interpretation anyway (always best) and is a familar mechanic (at least to me ?:p ).  So, the answer is a) for mine.

I agree that the answer should be a).
