It is an unfortunate bug in the game. (I have experienced it more often in 1.5 (RTW) than 1.9 (ALX), but mind you it occurs in both engine versions.) If you ever happen to see any of your units in battle with their backs turned to the enemy, quickly select that unit, hit backspace to halt the unit, then attack the unit it should be facing and your problem will be fixed. On the bright side, this will keep you more alert and aware--a trait that you will need to develop if you wish to be a more effective player in multiplayer battles.
