Another query for Martin

[SimonC]

Another question arose yesterday regarding assaults where the defender falls back.

The question is - when a square chooses to retire rather than face the assault. Does the assault counts as winning the assault? The reason for confusion is that on the QRS there is a separate section on assault outcomes. The third section being 'target chooses to retire'. In this section it defines the outcomes. So, 3 hits and assaulted gets 'winning the fight'.  What it doesn't mention is whether the assaulter does the other things that occur when you win an assault.

• Do you removing the 'winners' casualties? (are they still elated?)
• Does the assualter have to move at least one unit into the assaulted square?

Good note Simon.
I say "yes it does count as wining a normal assault".

You get a winning the fight marker,move at least 1 unit into and remove winner casualties.
