In reality, the bordered battlefield would be a boon to any losing army. Personally, I am for a non bordered battlefield with disengagement determined by how far the enemy is away from my army. 5 to 10 gaming miles would be sufficient as chase would only tire my men and leave them subject to ambush. I am currently thinking this through, so bear with me. Imagine your army on the defensive and you need time to evacuate the field so you set a two unit ambush further afield(to the rear) while your army retreats. These men have time to recooperate and make a proper defense maybe some cavalry with them to assist in a shocking counter-strike. I wonder.........
