I wasn't sure what title to give this post, so I hope I don't disappoint anyone. Hell, I'm not even sure if this is the right sub-section....but here goes.

I need your advice.

I was playing a 1000pt game yesterday, my Smurfs vs my mates Necrons. We got to a point where my 10 man assault squad were caught in CC with his Tomb Spider and two Scarab Swarms attached to his Tomb Spider squad.

My Assault squad go first and I score 13 hits on his unit. Now the Tomb Spider is Toughness 6 and the Swarm is Toughness 3, he has 3 wounds left over the entire of his swarms and a full 3 wounds on his Tomb Spider. I ask him where he wants to allocate the hits so we can work out wounds. He suggests he wants to take all the hits on his Swarms.....

....Now heres the catch: If he allocates all 13 hits on his swarms, I'd be working out the wounds against his toughness of 3! In theory, if all of the hits score a wound, he can only cater for 3 wounds!! Lets assume he doesn't make a 5+ save, then according to him I've killed the Scarabs 13 times

Is this correct? I argued that if he allocated all the hits to his Scarabs, and all 13 hits wounded, and then he lost the 3 wounds, everythig else gets an automoatic wound on the Tomb Spider....if not I would have to roll to wound again, on the remaining hits ( say 10 ) that had in theory already caused a wound....

Sorry of this is very confusing, but theres nothing in the Rules that states how to allocate wounds to units different toughnesses.....

HHEELLLLPPPPP!!!!
