1. Does "First Fire" apply to dug-in units in subsequent assaults they are the "defender" once the "attacking" unit is "locked" in melee and they occupy the hex together?
2. Once "locked in melee" Do 'Dug-in" units forfeit their dug-in status when they chose to initiate an assault as an "attacker?"
1. Yes, always get first fire when defending as long as that dug-in counter is there
2. No, they keep dug-in status and although you know, for any newbie reading, they do not get first fire when they initiate the attack in the assault hex.
