Can 1 scoring unit control 2 objectives at the same time, provided they can stretch the 12" or more to get to the second one?

If it can get within holding distance of both then yes, it can,

mkay, that's what I thought.

Also, totally unrelated, but I have a question on Synapse.
Let's say I have a squad of 10 Termagants and a Hive Tyrant. 6 of the gants are more than 12" away (out of synapse range) and the other 4 are within the 12" synapse range.

Is the entire unit counted as being in synapse range? Does a majority of the unit have to be within synapse range? Can only 1 model be within synapse range to be exempted from IB?

I don't play 'Nids but I'm assuming that only 1 model is reequired to be within synapse range and then the Hive Mind would pass the snynapse signal through him to the rest of the squad.

If one model in the unit is within synapse, then ALL are in.
It's like a model only has to have the edge of its base within 2" of something to have its entire base considered "within".

Synapse is "units within" and a set distance.

Any time you see the term: Units within X" it means that only 1 model(and even then the just the edge of it's base) needs to be within the distance.

Some rules say "Models within" for those rules only the individual models that are close enough benefit/are effected.

Questions have already been answered, but here are some rules references in case that helps

Yes. There are no rules that limit the number of objectives a unit can control; the Rulebook FAQ (first link) also clarifies this on page 5.

If a rule asks for the unit to be within 12", then you only need a single model to be within 12" for the rule to be satisfied (likewise, that model only needs to be partially within 12" as well; you don't need the whole base within the distance). See the Rulebook, p3 under "Measuring Distances".
