[QUOTE=Tomcat]Sinner - Maybe I was a little ambiguous . I meant withdraw from the battle on the "pre-battle setup screen" before committing to the battle itself, not withdrawing from the battlefield once the battle has commenced. I do not think your Generals get V&Vs from withdrawing before the battle starts - as opposed to withdrawing from the battlefield itself once battle has started when sure, he will likely earn the "coward" or "runner" reputation.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

From what I've seen in my games, withdrawing on the pre-battle screen will often get the general the "hesitant" vice (-3 morale...I think).
