RE: Remedial Assault Hex Exiting
This all depends on if you have to attempt recovery all at once or can-do units one at a time in separate action segments.
Let's look at the actual wording of 12.12: "If, during a given action segment, ALL of a player's combat units exit an assault hex (leaving no combat units to guard their retreat), then ALL the exiting units (not just the last unit to leave) may be assaulted by the enemy units in the assault hex using the Assault Table."
The 14.4 says "Units attempting recovery and leaders assisting them must be activated and may conduct no other action that turn." This is vague, because it says that all the units in a recovery attempt must be activated. But it lacks "in a hex" or a qualifier like that.
Then looking back at 12.12, if all fail, they all flee, and the bad guys get to shoot them.
If I was the supreme poo-bah of PG rules, i would rule, due to the vagueness, that they all units in hex that need recovery must attempt n the same action phase. Being demoralized means the unit is not good order and unable to effectively fight and thus could not effectively be a rear guard... which BTW is a difficult thing to do. Since both rules cited above use "all", it implies to me that they mean all.
