I use c).  For example, when rolling against an Imperial Cruiser's flank
(5+
armour), 5's do 1 damage and 6's do 2 damage.  Further, the 6's allow a
reroll where 4's and 5's do 1 damage and 6's do 2 damage plus a further
reroll.

Quite frankly, I'm less enamoured of rerolls lately (that and SML attack
envelopes).  I'm considering playing without rerolls and with 4" SML
envelopes in vector and cinematic.

While the Eldar are more fragile and a bit less powerful, initial play
shows
that the modified turn sequence favours them so greatly as to offset
these
disadvantages.

I believe the "2" is the range, which I believe is 2 range bands.

If I recall correctly, that's the teleporter.
