Rule 9: Attacker Retreat when in Overstack

Question:
We’re using the advanced rule 43. C 2, “Overstacking. ” If the attacking units of the hex roll an attacker retreat do the overstack have to retreat?

Answer:
No.
However, those units, the overstacked ones, are in big trouble since they have no defense strength throughout the following enemy player turn, making them easy meat for any counter-attack.

Rule 9: Attacker Retreat Result

Question:
If a hex has 12 REs and six 6 REs are attacking and roll an attacker retreat do all units have to retreat or just the six units that attacked?

Answer:
Only units making an attack may be affected by the results of that attack; uninvolved phasing units are not affected even if other units in their hex are participating in an attack.
