i dont want to get into an argument that isn't mine, but he didn't refuse to fight the battle, nor was he unable, he simply decided that given the odds and morale, it would be better to retreat. Seems reasonable to me. He is the commanding officer after all.

"If a player cannot fight a battle that is assigned to them, the battle may also be fought by any player whose avatar will also be present in the battle."

TC later made clear that this means if a player refuses to fight, then the other players in the stack can fight. Cecil decided for himself to retreat without attempting to contact the other 4 players (2 of which are online right now) and see if they wanted to fight it.

I think that's meant to prevent dangerous auto-resolves with other players in the stack. Cecil did fight the battle. He picked up the save and fought it... as a tactical withdrawal.

YLC just asked me on MSN Messenger if he could fight the battle.

FD, can YLC quickly work off of Ig's save and fight it?

**flyd** · 07-12-2008, 04:04

Yes, if Cecil approves, since he is the commander of that stack.

**Privateerkev** · 07-12-2008, 04:06

Alright Cecil, we're waiting on your word.

YLC is willing to fight the battle right now. FD has said that YLC can do it as long as you ok it.

What do you say?

Very well. I'm not very good anyway, so it wouldn't surprise me if someone could get perfect victory out what I perceive as unavoidable defeat.

EDIT: Of course, a true leader would not allow his subordinates to pursue a policy he believed was doomed to needlessly waste lives. But that's not as important as ensuring there are no bad feelings.
