INF Present in Assault Hex
If an AFV is attacking in an assault hex in a town, and there is a friendly INF unit in the same hex but has already been activated, does that INF unit count as present, thus negating the +1 for the defenders assaulting an AFV without infantry support?

How did you end up in such a situation and what was so urgent?
That's what I thought Peter. I was playing Felipe. He was the attacker. He tried to rally his infantry in the hex in an earlier activation but failed. Later the same turn, he opted to attack with just the armour. We couldn't find anything specific in the rules so I didn't add the modifier for my defenders against an AFV without support. No harm done in the end. Had I been Felipe, I would have waited for the infantry to rally first.

Another lesson learned the hard way! No matter how weak they are, always rally your 1940 French INF to help your tanks in an urban, close assault.

That's what he was trying to do! It's just that they didn't, and he ran out of patience.
