Are we instructed to re-roll or re-roll-off?
In the Warhammer 40k Kill Team Core Manual pg 20 it tells us how to deal with roll-offs:
ROLL-OFFS
Some rules instruct players to roll off. To do so, each player rolls a D6 (or 2D6 if there are more than two players), and whoever scores the highest wins the roll-off. In the case of a tie, those players re-roll their dice -- if the second and subsequent rolls are also tied keep on rolling until a winner is determined; this is the only time players can re-roll a re-roll.
The problem lies with the following sentence:
In the case of a tie, those players re-roll their dice
I interpret it two ways. The first is what I think it is instructing us to do -- in the case of a tie you are using the re-roll to determine the position of just the tied players. However as we are being instructed to re-roll the dice not re-roll-off, it reads that these new results could overtake existing rolls.
Take the following situation:
Person A rolls a: 5
Person B rolls a: 4
Person C rolls a: 4
There is a tie, and so B and C re-roll. Resulting in:
Person B rolls a: 6
Person C rolls a: 4
With the former interpretation the winning order is; A, B, C, as A won the round with the tie. However as it only specifies that you should re-roll, not re-roll-off, the winning sequence would be; B, A, C.
Which way are we being instructed to roll-off?
