So for example if you had your Ghazis in the woods on engage at will and in wedge formation, you would click once on the target and do nothing more. I believe that double click to run also negates the effect as it counts as a second attack order. The way to have the unit run is to do CTRL+R after you have ordered it to attack. I have massacred pinned units of Kataphraktoi from the rear using Ghazis in this fashion.
I did not know this. Boy, will I be invincible now!
