In my most recent game we played the marauders scenario with me being the defender and the attacker having "scrag" as his special objective meaning he secretly selected one of my fighters and gets extra points for killing that fighter (he chose my leader).
After a fairly bloody fire fight and some fierce scraps on the flanks my leader took out my opponents last fighter (his beast of an aberrant carrying a two handed hammer) in CC so he played the last gasp tactic card and attacked back inflicting a serious injury, now my question is does he get to make the free coup de grace action as he normally would in CC or not?
I say he doesn't because his fighter is removed after the attack is complete and the coup de grace is a separate action made for free after the attack, he argues that the coup de grace is classed as part of the attack process. It's unlikely that either of us will back down as without the free coup de grace I win 6 points to his 5 but if he gets to make the coup de grace then the bonus points bring him up to 8 points and he wins.
