I think that you should be able to select skirmish for any unit. That way you could have a defensively weak unit fall back after some cavalry havs taken the bait through a unit of spearmen or something. I remember reading in a post here somewhere that units seem to be stuck together like glue when they are in combat and this is true, so why can they not fall back before they get locked or bogged down? I would have thought that this was an obvious tactic, the 'horns of the buffalo' that the Zulus used for example. I know that you can select the unit individually and move them back but in a reall fight such micromanagement would have been impossible. I just want them to be able to shuffle backwards a bit thats all.
