I'm not talking about a couple dozen soldiers surviving or not. What I am talking about is the case of Armies that have had up to 50% of their strength survive the battle, and the game decides to remove them, kill them off. Now, maybe their is just some mechanic I am missing, but it seems to me that if 40%-50% of an army survives the battle . . . that army should be able to withdraw and the AI be able to rebuild it. Again, not talking about a legitimate Cannae where you really did kill everything off, but where a viable force, to all appearences manages to exit the battlefield, but the game decided to wipe it out anyway.

People complain about the campaign being too easy, but then we have mechanics that are making it even easier (like armies dying after every defeat).
