In a jungle assault, the defender gets First Fire (12.43; Terrain Chart). In this case does the defender (Unit D), which is being assaulted by Unit A, now become an attacker for purposes of column shifts on the Assault Chart? The two areas that are potentially impacted are:
- +1 for all units of the attacking side having higher morale than all defending units. When Unit D takes its First Fire, would it get this column shift as an "attacker"?
- -1 against defending units occupying.... jungle. Would Unit A get this benefit when Unit D takes its First Fire?
With First Fire, are the roles reversed for that initial attack by the defender?
