Elite Troops and the Sixth Command Dice addressed in 2017 FAQ
"This remains a contentious issue and needs to be addressed. It was always my intention that very
few, very elite units would get this benefit as it is a very powerful addition, not particularly due to an
extra activation but the fact that it increases the chances of multiple phases significantly.
If using a unit with six command dice (and not all elite troops should automatically get this benefit,
as we will show in forthcoming handbooks) one of the command dice should be a distinct and
different colour to the others rolled. So, for example, you might roll five white dice and one red one.
If the differently coloured dice, red in our example, rolls 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 it is treated as normal. If the
red dice rolls 6 then this is converted to a 5 immediately and does not count towards multiple
phases.
This does not affect any of the points values for forces."
