Deflect and Fire Support

[Tanker]

I have some confusion about deflect and interactions with fire support:

1) A unit is performing a ranged attack, plus fire support from another unit

2) The target is a unit with the deflect keyword (and a dodge)

3) Attacker forms the attack pool, rolls multiple successful hits, dodge, cover, etc are applied

4) Defender rolls and at least one result is a surge on the defense dice

A - Which attacking unit (the active unit or the fires supporting one) takes the deflect wound?

B - If the defender rolls with deflect activated and the result is more deflects than wounds remaining in the active unit, do wounds carry over to the fire-supporting unit or are they lost? This could happen quite easily with a one or two mini unit activated, with a full squad with a heavy weapon (Clones) fire supporting.

Thank you!

There is only one attacking unit. The unit using Fire Support is not attacking.

Only the attacking unit will suffer wounds as a result of the Deflect keyword. Excess wounds will not spill over onto any other unit.

Hope this helps,
