It's common consens that the "chase router" function isn't working properly.
Iirc, the game tries to get the center of your unit onto the center of the routing unit and only then the routers get captured.
When the routing unit is dispersed over a large area it gets difficult to impossible to match the units' centers.

Yep. this 'capture' thing is new to me (never having played MTW1). Maybe the 'escorting off the field' phenomenon is a Feature rather than a bug? Units are escorted off the field and into confinement?

If this is the case, then i really hate the capture feature as it ties up units which would be better employed to wipe them all out.

One thing I keep wondering after a battle is "how have i captured these units when they all ran off the field and into the wide blue yonder?"

Is there any point to continuing a battle after all the units rout, if they are all going to end up as hostages?
