So there I was, almost a complete stack of Moorish miscreants about to disembark at the coast ready to make the relatively short haul north to capture an ill defended Zagreb from the Venetians. As my brightly colored fellas stepped off the boat, the fog of war (dam you fog of war) cleared to reveal a waiting, sturdy looking couple of stacks in claret hue....yes I know...should have checked first! Anyway, no problem I thought. At turns end (had run out of gas for this particular move) when the inevitable happened and my Venetian reception committee made it's move, I could 'retreat' and the AI would pop me gently back into the relative sanctuary of the boat moored not a hairs breadth to my rear.
End turn. Venetian turn. Venetian army made their move. I hit the 'run away' button and where did my army go? Northbloodywest! Up a windy coastal path, totally bypassing the obvious (only!) escape route of the boat I had just left. All the way up the windy coastal path in fact into the gaping jaws of a further two stacks of Venetians. Suffice to say, even without auto resolve (I was tempted...4 v 1....what's the point?) the ensuing battle (if you could call such a one sided encounter that) was not a pretty sight!
This or anything similarly excruciatingly or annoying ever happen to you?
