:::A dark room somewhere in the cavernous foothills of northwest Texas . . . :::

(Yes, Father Tzeentch, I did as you ordered; I placed the post "can't re-roll a re-roll . . . " on Warhammer-Empire, and the result was just as you predicted; the loyal brothers of the Empire are now at each others throats arguing over a rule that twists their minds and haunts their souls like the vastness of eternity. They've even begun sharing stories of wife swapping in Belgrade this summer. Soon they will be ripe for the picking . . . by the time our armies reach their gates, I will unleash my minions from behind their very backs, and we will crush them like a Shaggoth swats a Gnoblar . . . not even their precious Sigmar can save them now . . . )

I saw this in the latest 40K FAQ and thought of this thread:

Quote from: 40K FAQ
Q: If a unit has a special rule that lets it re-roll failed
saves and is being affected by an enemy special rule
that makes them re-roll successful saves how is this
resolved? (p25)
A: Whilst you should technically roll all the dice and
then re-roll them, just roll the saves once and apply the
results to save time.

Well unlucky for you Rufus, 40k has nothing to do with Warhammer Fantasy.   :closed-eyes:

I think you missed my point as I got your point (you preached from the start to handle it that way....smart and sensible, I just pulled your leg and answered in a stupid forum rules as written kind of way as the last possible straw to still stick to ....pick up all dice roll em and roll em again).

Crossburning is when you have a unit of Crossbows with the Banner of Eternal Flame, right?

No, is casting Flaming Sword on your Crossbows, but only if your wizard wears a white or red pointy hat.

You're all just missing the points (imagine a Scotsman saying "pints").
