Waterloo 20

I have a couple of questions on Waterloo 20 for Joe Miranda. 

1. Is a fortified hex also a town hex? This is important for the Zone of
Control effects, because if it is also a town hex than units that are in
the town hexes of La Haye Sainte and Mont St.Jean which are next to the
fortified hex of Hougoumont would not have to attack Hougoumont, but if
it was not classed as a town hex (as well as a fortified hex) then
Hougoumont would have to be attacked. Since the british always try to
make a stand in the Waterloo position it makes a difference. 

2. Do units that are attacked in the Reaction Phase by a cavalry
countercharge have to attack in the Combat Phase if they are adjacent to
an enemy unit? eg.In the French Movement Phase, a French infantry unit
moves adjacent to a British cavalry unit, which in the Reaction Phase
countercharges the French unit getting a DW result. The French unit
retreats one hex and the British unit advances, so that it is adjacent
to it. In the French combat Phase, does the French unit have to attack
the British cavalry unit? 

Many thanks

Gosh, I hope so. Someone there just ordered a bunch of games, including
8 copies of Crisis 2020!
