Situation :
An IFT attack vs. units with different DRM in the same Location (e.g. in and out of a foxhole) results in different levels of KIA
(e.g. a 24 FP original DR of 2, barring cower, vs. units in and out of an entrenchment, gives 1KIA and a 3KIA results).

Question :
Does one :
a) resolve the two different KIA results separately (e.g. a RS DR for the units in the entrenchment suffering the 1KIA and a RS DR for the units out of the entrenchment suffering the 3KIA) ?

Or should one:
b) roll one RS for all units affected by the different KIAs - limiting the number of eliminated units to the level of #KIA they suffer ?

a)

Now the follow-on question needs to be asked, what if the unit(s) outside the foxhole suffered a KIA result but the units in the foxhole did not, would the unit(s) in the foxhole be automatically broken as per "A7.301 #KIA: At least as many target units in each specifically targeted Location (e.g., Spraying Fire or Canister, but not Area Target Type, attacks) as the number indicated (#) are eliminated (as determined by Random Selection); all remaining target units are automatically broken." Both the unit(s) in and out of the foxhole are targeted and it is a single Location.

If separate DRM result in separate effects - EX: a 1KIA vs units outside plus a 3MC vs units inside an entrenchment - those effects would only be applied to the units which received that result. So the 3MC units would not be broken by the 1KIA units just as the 1KIA units would not take the 3MC. The 3MC units would no longer be considered targets of the 1KIA result.

Same thread, different circumstances.
2 units in a hex, 1 concealed, 1 unconcealed. AFV MA, fires @ the units w/infantry type fire. TH # on the concealed unit is 2 higher than on the unconcealed unit, no problem. Firer rolls snakes. Is there a RS roll or are both units equally effected?

This is not a rules question thread, but a Perry Sez post.
I would suggest take further questions to the rules folder.
