7.5.4.1.3.3: {Any} type of army factor may be removed as a casualty, at the 
controlling player's option, during any round of assault combat.

I think this would indicate that cavalry casualties do not have to result 
from breaking in a siege battle.

        Since the siege combat procedure seems to focus on not allowing 
any of the modifiers to be used, I would expect that Guard commitment would 
be swept out along with all the other things you can't do.  The rules on 
siege combat are meant to be as simple as possible and it looks like they 
just threw out everything but the three die rolls.
