Hi,

Suppose I have one last unit, and my opponent also, which is a tank who can explodes.

It's my turn, and I destroy its tank. So I technically tabled him. But let's say that the tank explodes, and kills my last unit.

Is there an order and do I win? Or is it a draw?

I would like to have a reference from the rules book or elsewhere if you have it.

When the tank reaches 0 wounds it is destroyed. The explodes happens as a special rule after the fact. But the very moment it hits 0 hull points the unit is done.

Inflict Damage: The damage
inflicted is equal to the Damage
characteristic of the weapon used
in the attack. A model loses one
wound for each point of damage
it suffers. If a model’s wounds
are reduced to 0, it is either slain
or destroyed and removed from
play.

Since explodes cannot happen until the tank has been destroyed then the order is clear.

Failing all this, if an opponent really disagrees and everything is taking place simultaneously, then sequencing rules come into play. The player whos turn it is determines the order of operations and decides which unit actually died first.

It would be a draw as tabling is checked at the end of the battle round but at all times. I think. Not with my books.

This. Tabling is checked at the end of each turn, so it would be a draw.
"Sudden death" paragraph, page 215 of the main rulebook.

That depends on the mission.

Only War say's this.

VICTORY CONDITIONS
If one army has slain all of its foes, it immediately wins
a major victory. Otherwise, at the end of the battle, the
player who has the most victory points wins a major
victory.

Which is not checked at the end of the round. The game ends immediately when the tank dies.

As Lance845 says, it all depends on the mission rules and sequencing.

Sudden Death is only checked at the end of a battle round, but the Only War mission has it's own rule about annihilation victories.

Ahh I don't know only war. Apologies if that was the mission. In most missions it would be down to sudden death.
