Assaults and Wall Flowers

[cjsiam]

So there is this assault hex.....

There are german and russian units in the hex.....this is not the first turn of assault...it's been carrying on...
It so happens that a couple russian units are demoralized.....
  they cannot participate in the Assault.....they roll to recover----say they recover and do not flee....they have finished their activation (officer and inf)
The other two units in the hex participate in the assault against the dug-in defenders...who roll first and get a 1....
meaning one step loss, and everyone rolls an M2...

BUT---who is everyone?

We contend that "everyone" is those who participated IN the assault, NOT the wallflowers who were psyching themselves
  back up into the fight behind a rock.....
Thus they are NOT impacted by the results of the Assault by there comrades in the hex...

We agreed this seemed right.


anyone disagree?
