Determining the Number of hits

(Rule)
Description: Some attacks require a to-hit roll, while other attacks hit automatically, inflicting a fixed or random number of hits. The rules for how attacks hit are described for each attack. The most common type of to-hit rolls can be found in the Shooting (Aim) and Melee (Standard Melee Attack) chapters.

A natural roll of ‘6’ with a Melee Attack always succeeds.

Whenever an effect inflicts a random number of hits on more than one unit, roll for the number of hits separately for each unit, unless specifically stated otherwise.
