Demoralized unit in assault hex failing to recover while in entrenchment

[garbare83686]

There seems to be a conflict in the rules. Rule 14.31 says units in an entrenchment are not required to flee, and may remain in place at the owning player's discretion. On the other hand 14.35 says that demoralized units failing to recover must exit the assault hex.

So, would a demoralized unit, which fails to recover, be required to exit the assault hex?

I and my opponent have a difference of opinion on which rule take precedence.

P.S. Take that you rule lawyer haters!

I play it by following 14.35, they can stay and try to recover until the hex is assaulted, then a failure requires a retreat. I believe the wording "Demoralized units in an assault hex that fail a morale check must exit the hex, and may move only one hex when doing so (12.13). "

Edit - Found the vote button and voted yes they exit.
