The Unplanned Assault Conundrum

[ComradeP]

I wouldn't like it if my opponent did so against unspotted enemies, it removes a large part of the usefulness of the new hidden mechanic. Both sides have some small units that are not worth much in an attack, so they can use them as pseudo-recon units, cancelling assaults all the time.

It goes against the spirit of having FOW and ambush rules if you can simply cancel assaults unless the odds drop dramatically. If you can't undo moves, you shouldn't be able to cancel assaults at your leisure either in my opinion. There should be a cost.

If the defenders fire and the attacker takes losses that would make an assault too costly, that's one thing and I'm fine with the assault being cancelled as long as the unit had a reasonable chance to actually hold the hex.
