This is a question that is still confusing for some of our group of players. As per A10.7 LEADERSHIP: ...An unbroken Personnel leader may use its leadership rating to affect the performance of other Personnel in its Location... (A leader) may use his leadership modifier...to direct Multiple ROF, Subsequent First Fire, Final Fire, or FPF attacks...
So, could we conclude that to direct an attack means that the leader is able to apply its leadership rating to that attack? Then, its mere presence won't be enough to direct that attack in any manner.
For instance, a leader cannot apply its DRM to a FT attack, so it cannot direct that attack and, consequently cannot avoid any possible cowering penalty.
A leader stacked with a squad with a MG directs First Fire of the MG, and then the squad (not british) fires vs another target and rolls doubles. The presence of the leader wouldn't prevent the cowering.
