So are you saying if a rule doesnt have 'roll of 1 fails regardless...' phrase in it, then it doesnt affect that roll? Clearly re-roll stratagem doesnt tell you if the reroll is a 1 it automatically fails.
This is a false equivalence... I'm not suggesting that; whether the remainder text is there or not removing models with 0 wounds as a casualty still happens when the model reaches 0 models. Not the step after, not the end of the phase.

No... the rules spell this out, the plasma target is removed during the attack (specifically step 5), the firer is removed after the attack.

Well, it does matter for effects like cover, attack targetting and, naturally, for allocating
VPs for effects like first blood.
