Hello, I have a quick question regarding range. I have a unit of 5 minis shooting at a unit of 5 minies. My guys all have range to 1 mini from the opponents unit. I score 5 hits and my opponent rolls only blanks. How many models die? By the rulebook I think 5 die, but I find it a bit awkward since 4 out of the 5 models are outside my weapons range.

Yes, you are correct.

In Legion, the rules push for more abstraction/ simplicity / faster gameplay.

As a result, there are a number of things that don’t always make ‘logical’ or intuitive sense.

With range-- you measure from the Unit Leader to the nearest mini. Whatever that range is, is the range that all weapons use when declaring an attack. It’s a lot simpler than measuring every model I the attacking unit to the ones in the defending unit, and determining whose weapon can reach/ target a specific mini.

Now with Line of Sight, only the minis in an attacking unit can contribute dice if they have LOS to any mini in the defending unit.

Once you get through some of the counter-intuitive parts of the game, it really does speed up the game play, and you learn to just roll with how the rule set works.
