Do units that have won a fight  (and are elated) remove all casualty markers in the square or only the ones that have been applied in the fight they have just one?

Thanks

Casualties are applied are applied the the square , and removed from the square. Is that what you are asking?  Or are you asking about 'other assaulting' squares (not support squares)?

Colonel Kilgore

Or is Simon (W) asking about a unit that won an assault, but may have picked up casualties earlier e.g. from an artillery barrage?

Same applies...  by the square.  If they win all the markers are removed. You got to to be certain of wining! nothing quite so galling as loosing a fight to a square that has been leathered by artillery only to see all the casualties come off! :-0

Sometimes best not to attack and let morale take its toll

That is exactly what happened to me yesterday in a game against my son.  I attacked with professional units against regulars with three barrage markers and existing casualty markers and even had a flame thrower to help.  I think the final die were 11 for me v 5 for him.
I inflicted one hit that was saved and he inflicted three hits of which only one was saved by me!
