Again, per the fleeing rules, (if he survives any allowed free hits that might occur) ... Make sure he exits to a hex further from the enemy. If that does not apply, he will still need to leave the hex. The only reason I can think he would remain in the hex was if there were 6 assaults in the hexes surrounding his hex (can not leave an assault and enter another) OR he is in an ENTRENCHMENT. Remember, DEM units do not need to flee from entrenchments.
Vince, one slight thing here, 12.13 does state that if the surrounding hexes in an assault all contain enemy units and he cannot flee, he is eliminated. I think that answers your question about remaining in the hex. Unless in an Entrenchment, He must ALWAYS try to flee or be eliminated.
