If I say shoot at a squad of Space Marines, and wipe them all out in the Shooting Phase, can I Assault another unit assuming one is in range.
I understand that pg. 33 states that "a unit that fired in the Shooting phase can only assault the unit that it shot at - it cannot asault a different unit to the one it previously shot at."
Since that unit is no longer there do I:
a) lose the option to assault because I wiped out the initial target in the Shooting phase
or
b) since the initial unit is destroyed, still have the option to assault a unit as long as it is within range
I don't necessarily see it is a cut and dry type of answer, but then again, that's why I'm asking for other opinions.
Thanks in advance.
