Withdraw from battle?

[Jagger]

I had a single surviving general unit from a settlement that was overrun by Romans. He escaped with 6 men. According to the manual, I should be able to withdraw from the battlefield using "W" instead of alt "W" as in MTW. However W didn't work.

Does "W" withdraw units or is there another key to be used? Has anyone successfully withdrew a unit from the battlefield?

I am having a lot of problems with the group commands as well. When I try to launch multiple units using the group tab to activate, often no units activate. I have to go in and individually activate units. When I try to do group deployments, sometimes I will get units scattered all over the place. I seem to remember this problem with MTW when it first came out. Anyone else seeing this problem.

Ambushes work very well on the tactical battlefield. As the Gauls, they really help to even things out a bit. However I have never been able to do an ambush on the strategic map. I have one set in front of Patavian but the Romans won't approach. Hopefully, sooner rather than later.

PS: Seeing the Brit chariots approach your lines for the very first time is a sight to behold........
