Combat movement and fleeing

[Matt W]

They are considered the same. A demoralized unit must flee away from an opposing unit in an assault hex which could reach it with direct fire. You definitely cannot move closer to it unless in so doing the movement puts you farther away from the closest enemy unit (e.g. I am adjacent to one enemy but three hexes away from the unit in the assault hex and the only possible hex to which I can flee is two hexes away from both).
