I think it's ultimately random with modifiers for the retreating unit's morale, fatigue, proximity to enemy troops, etc. So if they get lucky on the dice roll they might run through your troops.

It's true that there is little or no meaningful regimental AI and, in my opinion, one of the great pleasures (and sometimes great frustrations!) of an HITS game is watching your subordinate c...

Yeah, great stuff. Bold move with the cavalry!

This would be great!

I play HITS/courier and it is nearly impossible to prevent the first contact from becoming a man-killing vortex that obliterates any prior planning. Accurate to some degree--sort of how Gettysburg started, ...

<r>When playing HITS, how do y'all get a commander to break contact and disengage? I find it almost impossible to do.
