Hypothetical situation: I assault a fearless unit and get 6 more wounds on their unit than I get. So... they get 6 more... right. But do they take saves or do they just go ahead and remove all 6 of their W1 models off the board? I have only myself played shooting armies so far, so I'm curious if my friends have been doing it right.

Look up page 44 BRB under the 'No Retreat!' section.
The answer is in the 3rd paragraph.

As above.

They are wounds, and you have the oppurtunity to stop them becoming unsaved wounds.

thanks guys. Sometimes it's easy to overlook a small paragraph in this massive book.
