Leader Casualties in Assaults

[plloyd1010]

I asked that particular question long ago in regards to DF & BF step losses. The consensus at the time was that excess step losses did not translate to leader losses, since they did not begin the action segment alone. Since rule does not appear to have changed, I presume the consensus has not either. thus excess step losses do not apply to leaders after units have been eliminated. (You might consider applying excess losses against their survival check.)
