Omens dealing wounds

By JustWolf, in Gears of War: The Board Game

Hi, have a question about omens. Specifically, are omens that deal wounds automatic hits that can't be defended against? For instance, when a boomer attack rolls on omen, it says to deal one wound to each other figure in the area of the attacked figure, does that mean they're automatically wounded or do you roll defense die? And if it's an automatic hit, does that mean when you roll an omen on a lancer attack, which says "Deal one wound" then that hit can't be defended against?

Never mind, all cleared up on Pg 17 of the manual.
