Movement: Roll one die when unit or...

Marsh (Wetland, Boggy Ground)

Hi,

What happens when a unit retreats on a Marsh Hex ?

The situation appeared during Bunker Hill and my opponent Leboucher rolled one die to test his British Grenadiers before make his rally check.

I hope this time it is the right thing to do (because in Memoir'44, a unit retreating into a minefield does not have to check for eventual losses but if it is in frozen river, it has to do !!! I talked about this strange facts with Richard and was not really convinced by him...)

the rules says if you take loss, the move or retreat is halted.

so I would say retreating units must roll when they enter Marsh.

This makes Marsh different in Napoleonics (no losses), and Ancients (loss roll but no stop).
I avoid Marsh terrain to escape rule confusion

Entering a Marsh in this game is really dangerous you do it at your own risk. Therefore is not a good idea especially if you are retreating.
You have to roll to check your units.
So it is clear what happens when 1 unit (cavalry, infantry and leaders) enters the swamp (rolling the symbol implies loss of block/leader).

Less so when a Leader is attached to a unit. Rule at page 21 says:
If leader is attached to unit that loses a block, this loss does not require a leader casualty check but what happens if the unit doesn't lose a block? Do I have to roll for my Leader?
