Just curious on a rules vs intent thing within 1.12.5
The relevant sections.
"while units that are not in base contact but are within 15cm and have a line of fire to an enemy unit can use their firefight
value."
"If all of the attacking units directly engaged in the assault are killed then the assault has stalled and the defender wins (go straight to 1.12.

. 'Directly engaged' means being within 15cm of a defending unit after charge and counter-charge moves have been completed. If even one of the original attackers that were within 15cm of the enemy survives, then the attack has not stalled."
From a literal interpretation, if I assault an opposing formation, and I have units within 15cm of the enemy, but more than 10cm into cover (and hence avoiding LOF as defined by 1.9.2), the attack can't be stalled by my casualties.
Or does the section
"Hits may only be allocated to units that were directly engaged in the combat (i.e., that belonged to the attacking or defending formation and which were within 15cm of the enemy after charge and counter-charge moves were completed)."
override the need for LOF for assignment of hits, only affecting a unit's capacity to participate themselves? Seems weird that a Marine can't Firefight, but can be killed by a "flying PowerFist/Firefight attack".
