RE: Assault Bug in DF'85
If you initiate an assault with a stack containing no valid units to assault with, the assault should not be designated on the map as pending. So if all units have insufficient movement points, for example, then a message to this effect should appear and no assault should be initiated.
Since this is not happening, but did happen in the past, there is a bug. The pending 'assault' cannot proceed, and so needs to be manually cancelled or it will remain marked on the map indefinitely. This is my understanding of the problem.
Opportunity fire will occur since this is triggered by the initiation of the assault. If the process was working correctly, the assault would not initiated and there would be no oportunity fire.
There is no reason that an Unavailable unit could not assault if it meets all the other requirements. This has not changed.
If I am missing something, let me know.
