When it says re-roll one of the unit's d6 rolls does it mean just 1 dice or all?
Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Just 1. Although you can reroll 1 for Storm (nightfight ability), 1 for move thru cover, 1 for to hit or wound, 1 for assaulting thru cover.
Reroll 1d6 each PHASE.

Thats what I thought. Just wanted to make sure. I actually hadn't caught the each phase thing.
Thanks for the quick response.

And it has to be a d6 roll. Not a 2d6 roll (like Morale) or part of a 2d6 roll, as page 2 of the rulebook says you can't re-roll one die out of a 2d6 roll unless you have a rule explicitly telling you that you're allowed to.

Technically there is a competing interpretation to this perspective. Not that there is anything wrong with Mannahnin's interpretation. If you're interested there's another thread about Chronometerons and Deepstriking which discusses how re-rolls in detail. Its a little technical so if you're new to rules lawyering it may be a bit confusing.

There is a competing interpretation, but it relies on ignoring that the rulebook defines a D6 roll and a 2D6 roll as 2 separate and distinct entities, and states that in order to reroll part of a 2D6 roll you must have explicit permission to do so - somehting a Chronometron lacks.

So you cannot reroll part of a difficult terrain move, part of a leadership test, etc, as these are all 2D6 rolls, not D6 rolls.

You had me until you mentioned difficult terrain move. Difficult terrain test is two unique d6 rolls "Roll two D6 and select the highest...", not 2D6, thus Choron would allow one of those d6 rolls to be rerolled.

Oh Christ. Here we go again with the D6-1D6 junk.
I will play reroll 1 of the 2,3,or 90million until an FAQ clears it up.
Just be glad you don't have to play me and stop complaining.
Bet you're a Marine player.
I drop this mass generalization because whenever any codex (other than murheenz) get something nice, Muhreen players are the first to start cying about it and trying to rules lawyer it away.

Bugs I understand.... theyre just mad their book got defecated on.

So... The rules say you're wrong, but you're going to accuse others of injecting bias?

How's about a rules based argument instead of ad hominem?

Should have known you'd show up here. lol

I'll not argue with you, since that seems to be your "tackling fuel". I have stated how I will play this until clarified. Please... continue to explain how 2d6 is different than 2*D6..... oh... wait.... that was another thread.

Read TheGreatAvatar's response. The rules DO clarify.

Great - so no rules basis for your statements, you just happen to dislike me for some reason.
I'm okay with that - I've never felt the need to be popular. I do take offense, however, to your implication that what I've said is wrong and that me and anyone who agrees with me is just bitter or has some other agenda.

You're free to disagree with me. I'd appreciate the respect of a rules based disagreement if you're going to bother posting, however.

Yeah, it's not like 98% of my 2k-ish posts are in YMDC or anything.

Ooops- forgot that its a 2xD6 roll, not a 2D6 roll

Gregor - the rules are clear, yet you need GW to clarify them again?

Fair enough.
