Do Dem units or ones in Assault count as 'enemy that can hurt you'

[richvalle]

This came up in my face to face battle with Dan Storm. Does a loan enemy Dem inf count as a unit that another friendly Dem inf can't move closer to? 

Do units in assault hexes (Dem or not) count for this rule? 


In the first case they don't really have a FP factor so I can see them not counting. 

In the second case they DO have FP factors (if not Dem) but can't fire outside their hex. I'm inclined to say they DO count as a Dem unit wouldn't be moving towards the fighting.
