A unit of Skirmishers must end its movement as a coherent unit, as described. When removing casualties from a unit of Skirmishers, you cannot remove a model if doing so would cause the unit to lose its coherency – you must instead remove a different model.
Should it ever occur that a unit of Skirmishers has lost its coherency, you must remove models from play as casualties until only a single, coherent group remains. In such cases, the models removed are assumed to have fled the battle in a most cowardly fashion.
