Assaults and Wall Flowers

[cjsiam]

WELL....carefully reading the rules (annotated copy on the PG-HQ anyway) provides the following:

7.43 Assault

Assault affects all enemy units that participate in the assault combat (12.3). The first step loss in assault must be applied to units with the best morale status (7.63).


So---I think the wall-flowers are free and clear
....they did not participate in the Assault Combat
....All the defenders did---but the attackers are ONLY those who attacked!


So.... as ArchDuke Charles said "Well, there it is!"
