Just beginning Empire RTI patched 1.2. Sent a cavalry screen into Algonquin territory in front of George. My 2 Cav got ambushed by over a 1,000 French troops (Line infantry and Native units, no cannons). Battlescreen would not allow withdrawal so I played it out on the battle map. Ran my cavalary around a bit until the French lost sight of them. Timer ran out. No shots were fired, no meelee occurred. Got the screen End Battle or Chase routers. Chose end battle.
Result was....Heroic Victory! 570 French troops were killed. One of my cav gained 2 exp, the other gained 1.
Does this also happen in the GC? Seems like a cheap way to reduce enemy numbers.
