Am I the only one who isn't quite happy with the way retreating from battle currently works?
I think there should be a 'retreat' command in addition to the current ones, which would cause your troops to simply turn tail and try to run off the field, and the ones that make it, wouldn't be killed by the random casualty generator that we have now. This way it would be possible for the player to try and keep the enemy busy long enough for his troops to escape, just like any sufficiently heroic commander would do.
