I don't have the time to continue keeping up with this debate. We'll have to agree to disagree on whether a unit action implies that all members perform the action. I have never understood it this way, and it appears that quite a few (not everyone though, as most of the posters in this thread haven't made arguments) do. If someone has something new to add, PM me and I'll look at it.

If you were to post something that backs up your intepretation that all members are not required to perform the action it might actually lend this theory some weight.

So far, all that you have posted is specific examples where the rules allow it. You haven't posted anything that would allow it in other situations. If you can find such an example, you would have a valid point.

+1 to above: the UNIT performs the action therefore, like all other times when the unit performs the action, all members of the unit must be able to do it.

So a unit of bikes joined to the jumppack IC cannot turboboost, as all the models in the unit cannot turboboost.

In the situation of a combat win, the independent character would most certainly be able to perform a sweeping advance. He would not, however, be able to rejoin the unit until the end of the next friendly movement phase, so it's generally not worth it unless you absolutely know you're going to be locked for the first round.

This would be the most accurate method

I reiterate the the quote to the PROPER method that will get the results you are looking for (which was posted on page one of this entirely too long thread).

While this 'debate' is closing. I bolded something I wanted to point out. What else would a UNIT action imply? At no point in the sweeping advance section does it state 'pick a model' - which is what you are claiming you can do.

Oh well... dead horse, club. Club, dead horse. You finally meet.

Damn...looks like I came to this party a little late. I ignored the thread for a bit then decided that it couldn't possibly have gone on for 3 pages if it was what the title suggested (and it was), so I figured I would have a browse...

On topic, Insaniak is spot on.
