Falling off a horse?

I think it's still the routers striking back at the horsemen.

The other thing to be aware of (although I'm sure you are) is how absurdly spread out your units can get. The units taking losses nowhere near the routers could have 2 guys in the routers with the other 30 miles away. Those two get killed and it looks like the unit was nowhere near anyone.

I've noticed units that have backed off still in combat, although when you check it's because 3 guys are left behind and the rest are safely away.

I'd go with the router idea. even if it's not true I can justify it to myself...

it would be kinda neat like when foot soldiers or cavalry get exhausted if you keep pushing them men start dying of stroke :D

I'd suspect it was friendly fire. Don't think routers fight back.

It happens when pursuers get in charge mode, it seems to trigger some anti-charge attribute in the routed unit.

People died chasing routers in MTW 1 as well. I figure, like other people have suggested, that it's the routers fighting back. Just because they are running away doesn't mean they won't stop and fight some nutter on a horse trying to skewer them!
