And the Officers ran away...but...

[plloyd1010]

As the last unit exiting the Assault hex---
A) We understood he was subject to Free Shot.....(confirm).....
B) After the Free shot--- as he enters the open hex outside town---we assessed he would also be
subject to opportunity fire from nearby enemy units....of which there were tragically too many....

Firstly, a leader is not a unit. As such I expect, assuming he survives the morale and leader loss, he is simply displaced.

If that isn't the case, wouldn't every displacement result in a free shot. As it is, there is a 72% chance of him dying with the displacement roll anyway.
