How do you roll for blast? Do you roll to hit once, and then to wound on all the units in the radius, do you just roll to wound? I am really confused.

As I understand, you roll to hit, then roll to see if any of the guys partly under the template are hit, then you roll to wound for each guy.

Don’t confuse template weapons with blast weapons.
Flamers are template weapons and follow a slightly altered set of rules for determining who is hit.
Starkiller was right about using blast weapons such as plasma cannons or missile launchers, but flamers don’t need to roll to hit, and anything touched by the template is hit, you just go straight to rolling to wound.
