Strength in Numbers
(Rule)Description: When a unit that is composed entirely of models with this special rule is selected as a Troops choice, then up to three such units may be selected to fill that Troops choice slot instead of only one.
All units selected in this manner count as part of the same Troops choice for the purposes of Army Selection and Deployment only, when deployed onto the battlefield or into Reserves they are counted as a single unit and all units selected as part of the same Troops choice must be deployed at the same time (but are not required to deploy in proximity with each other) – and if placed into Reserves then all units in that choice must be placed into Reserves. Likewise, when making Reserves rolls one roll is made for all units selected as part of the same choice.
Once deployed onto the battlefield, all units selected in this manner are treated as separate and distinct units or choices for any Primary or Secondary Objectives or other special rules and operate as separate units in all ways. Units selected as part of the same Troops choice may have different options selected for them, and are not required to be identical.
When assigning additional models to units using the Among the Ranks and Militia Medicae Support special rules, each unit selected using the Strength in Numbers special rule is considered separate and may have models assigned to it as per the normal rules as the controlling player chooses.
