So the rule says that if you are locked in combat, your unit can roll D3 to leave combat. My question is, does this apply to the whole unit, say of troops plus the independent character holding the mindveil? Or does the independent character become a separate unit once he enters combat and therefore only he can escape combat? The rule does say "they" may leave combat.. but it gets hairy when, say, I'm running three independent characters in a unit of infantry. Does the mind veil allow all three independent characters plus 40 cultists to leave combat? Let me know your thoughts thanks.

Being in combat doesn't detach an IC from its unit, so yes, the IC and it's unit can all leave combat (if they have room to do so, it's not quite like hit and run)

You don't roll a D3..

Him and his unit follow the rules for the mindveil (despite the units size)
Also is 3D6 not D3
