Hi Chris,

I am sending this to the boardgame discussion list, too. Guys, Chris Lemens has a question:

My understanding has always been that when the defender is attacking in his turn, he attacks with all of his units. When he is attacking back in your turn, however, I would have to read the rules closely. Daniel, got an answer to hand?
