RE: Clarification Rule needed on Rule 14.35

The addition of check in 4th edition make it very explicit that demoralized units that fail a morale check must exit the assault hex. Why this was not added as a bullet in 14.3 is very strange to me if this was really what was meant in 14.35.
I still oppose Matt's interpretation for the following reasons:
- demoralized units that are NOT in an assault hex and fail a morale check caused by a combat result go nowhere
- the second half of the line talks about later activations, which implies the first half is talking about an activation as well
- this would be the only case in the entire ruleset where a unit would be able to move without first being activated, breaking a core principle of the entire system
Bogus!
