Default Assassin leaders with troops

When an assassin that can have troops, such as the Machaka Bane Spider, attempts an assassination, will their troops join in the attempt?

Just ran a test game, the answer is no.

...although I've sometimes wondered if it would be a spiffy feature if an assassin with Heroic Leadership could bring his stealthies along.

Sort of - they are automatic combat summons, and an assasination attempt IS a combat, even if a special case.

You could put a Wraith crown/lifelong protection on your assasin to stack the odds against enemy army commanders.

Yeah; a Skull Talisman or a Bag of Winds can also have similar useful effects.

Doesn't seem quite fair that a commander can bring his bodyguards with him, but an assassin can't bring additional units.

Of course, the reasoning could be that the more people you have involved in an assassination attempt, the more likely it is to be discovered and fail.

Well, the commander has only his *bodyguards* with him in that battle. What use are bodyguards if they won't help if an assasin comes after you?

I understand the use of bodyguards, but why not a hit squad?
