3.13 vs. 12.56 in 4th edition rules

[plloyd1010]

Technically I don't think you need to designate the hex, but you would give the fire order and note they are assaulting. Sort of like with the move order, but actually rallying or digging in. That is why the activation loop in Vassal was setup the way it was.

I think the rule was written that way to force a commitment to the assault. Essentially the only out of the assault after the units activate activation would be to clear the hex by fire.

P.S. I haven't forgotten the email from your Academy graduation. I hope to get short videos made to demonstrate setting up the boards on the assault maps, and a couple other features.
