Couldn't find this one on the BRB, hope you guys could help me with a page reference. I got some really bad luck on my ld rolls with my CSM. The setting was as follows.

Got my opponent's chaos lord locked in combat with 2 squads of my marines, 1 turn before my chaos lord could arrive to destroy his, he killed one of the champions on the CSM squad and therefore won the combat by 1, and I rolled 11 followed by a 10 for both of my units so they ran, so I gave one as dead since the lord was a slaaneshy lord so I6 vs my I4, but then my opponents asks me if he can SA both units, to which I assumed he couldn't, 1 unit can only chase 1 unit, not both, however he insisted that he could go after one and if he got them killed go after the second, we went to the BRB and couldn't find any restriction on how many units you can SA, so for sakes of the game we rolled and I lost so that SA killed 17 marines.

So... is there anywhere on the book that states that you can only SA 1 unit at a time or did we play it right?

Pere BRB:
"When determining assault results in a multiple combat, total up the number of Wounds inflicted by all units on each side to see which side is the winner. Every unit on the losing side has to check their Morale (they all use the same penalty, as described in the Morale section on page 29).
After all of the losing units have taken their Morale checks, each winning unit that is now free to make a Sweeping Advance rolls the dice and compares its total with the total of each of the falling back enemy units it was engaged with. Any that it equals or beats are destroyed. Remember that winning units can only Sweeping Advance if all of the units they were locked in combat with Fall Back or are wiped out in the fight."

You should have lost both if you lost both Initiative rolls.

Oh, it was on the multiple assault section, that makes sense, i was looking on combat results and falling backs. Thanks a lot.

Just wanted to add that each unit only makes one roll, and then you compare all of the results. So in this case his lord only rolls once and you compare that total to each of your unit's totals. (I've seen lots of people do a separate roll off for each unit)
