Quick question, I was teaching the game to a new player and ran across something that I never really considered before.
Is height advantage for attacking and defending(based on who is highest) or is it only for the attacker with a higher defender getting no bonus?
I always assumed that if the defender was higher they got the extra die and if it was the attacker they got it. The new player pointed out in the rulebook that the higher ground rule is listed under the heading of attacking but that in the text it just says "the higher figure has a height advantage". He posed the question to me and I told him the way I had interpreted it but figured I'd ask just in case.
