Slightly Confused about Flanking

[Takeda]

According to the manual when attacking an enemy unit, the attacking unit is conferred a 15% flanking bonus from any friendly units that are adjacent to the target of the attack. The manual doesn't explicitly state whether this applies to defenders as well, so does anyone know if this is the case?

It's seems only logical that it would be

It applies to defenders as well; this is an excerpt from one of the podcasts:

I think the first thing to keep in mind is that you're gonna want to use multiple units in conjunction like we were mentioning and a key part of that is that there's now a flank bonus that is given to an offensive player when he has additional units that are adjacent to the defender and then he makes an attack with one of those units. It actually also applies in defense if the person attacking you is surrounded by a bunch of your defending units you also get the same bonus.

Reminds me of Warhammer: Fantasy days. I love it.
