6.7 Leader Casualties

[sasmo12]

So I was readng some older posts and got my self confused. I then read the section in the subject line.

I have been playing that the Bombardment result, and Direct Fire Result for that matter, affects ALL units in the target hex.

The clarification I need now is, does this include leaders? From what I have read it appears that Leaders are only affected if morale test is rolled (M or M#) on the result chart.

So a leader could face the following on one enemy activation:

1. morale check following an X or M result rolled on the bombardment chart
   
2. Then casualty test if any step losses occured during teh activation.
   

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

yes, rolls due to fire/assault are rolled --starting with Leader (many examples in rules)--and then units.
THEN if unit losses occur---you take a leader casualty roll as well.

so yes.

But the leaders are not directly affected by an X result, correct?

Save that they would take an M2 morale check, and an officer Casualty roll......

Ok. Thanks. I'm getting the hang of this now.

They are only affected directly by X results when they are alone. Otherwise it is all morale checks and leader loss checks.
