So I have some questions regarding assigning multiple extras to one initiative card.

If I have 5 extras who's initiative comes up. Do I move all 5 of them at once, nominate targets then roll for all of them simultaneously?

or

Do I move each of the 5 individually and resolve their combat one at a time?

It makes a difference when it comes to gang up bonus. Simultaneously they could potentially all benefit from the full +4. Individually it would scale upwards and only the last dude would get the +4.

That's basically it. They all go on the same initiative, so they all act pretty much simultaneously, so their attacks occur at about the same time (close enough to benefit from Gang Up from anyone else acting on the same card).

Similar question was just asked that might help...
