A few questions from first play.

Brian,

Glad you are enjoying the game!

Spotting units in limited terrain: The range is three hexes unless otherwise noted. To see a different range look at the notes for Heavy Woods & Heavy Jungle.

Assault: The unit recovering morale may not participate in the assault and can also not be activated by a leader outside of the assault hex. That leader may, however activate units outside the assault hex to enter the assault hex and initiate an assault. Units already in the assault hex may participate in the assault.

In the activation that you had (if I understood it correctly) beginning with the leader outside the assault hex then you could have activated units outside the assault hex to enter the assault hex and combine with units in the hex to participate in that assault. All units whose direct fire factors were used in the combat would be subject to the results, including units already in the hex and the units newly entering the hex (and the leader if he moved into the hex as well). The disrupted unit could also participate in the assault (using 1/2 his normal DF) or could refrain from participating in order to attempt to recover morale in a future activation. The ability to participate in the assault is the only option open to the units already in the assault hex as a leader cannot activate units in an adjacent assault hex. Only leaders in the assault hex at the moment of activation can affect the units in the assault hex. Note that any leader(s) who moved into the assault hex would not be able to provide the benefit of any morale bonus for a recovery this turn as they activated for a fire activation in the turn. (Assault "movement" is actually part of a fire activation not a move activation).

A unit in a village may not be Dug In (see the Terrain Effects Chart under "Dig In" for Village Terrain). Note that the scenario introduction & conclusion may reference a village but unless the terrain is specifically village or the scenario notes instruct the player to treat town terrain as village in a particular scenario, any town hexes should be considered town terrain and not village terrain.
