So I was playing a game today and this came up: Does the Coversave reduction from Markerlights effect every squad the fire on the unit with a reduced save or only one of the shooting players choice?

Example: Pathfinders strip cover on a Necron Warrior Squad: A Command Squad( well a 3 man squad of Fireknife Shas'uis with a Shas'el Fireknife+) fired on the Necrons, no cover. Would the other two Fireknife Squads, waiting to open fire on the Necron Warriors, have to deal with the Normal 4+ cover or whatever the reduced cover was?

The marker is 'expended' when it is used. The markerlight rules refer to 'the firing unit' that expends the marker... which seems pretty clear that only that unit gains the benefit. Another unit wanting the cover reduction will need to expend another marker.

The charges are used up so they would get there cover save
