Clausewitz Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I am in a game were two Chinese corp. behind the northern river line by fortress both retreated on first attack by Japanese. There was no unit switching for multiple attacks. Total northern defense crumbled. Has anyone else experienced such "in my opinion" a ridiculous result?

Bill101 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hi Clausewitz To retreat, the Chinese Corps should have been at very low strength before the attacks that made them retreat. Please confirm whether or not that was the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clausewitz Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 The corp. had a HQ next to them. Probably 8 or 9 supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jollyguy Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I have only seen retreats on units at 1 or 2 strength. It also opens up possibilities to set units farther back to pick them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'm still on 1.00, but I believe retreats are more a function of morale and readiness, as well as strength. I've seen units that are 4 or 5 strength retreat when an attack is initiated, probably because they were at one or two strength last turn and were only able to reinforce to a limited degree because of low supply. I can't be totally sure, but most likely their morale and readiness were in the single digit range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clausewitz Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I appreciate comments on potential reason for retreat but my occurance was different. To the best of my memory the army at 156/23 was destroyed and Chengchow was captured. Immediately following in the next turn the corp. at 152/21 and 152/22 both with HQ next to them and no prior assualt retreated on first assualt. Both are behind river and in hill. Seems like a good defensive position that should hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Retreats should only happen when the defender has an entrenchment level = 0 and a strength value <= 5. After that there is still only a 75% chance when in a non city/capital/fortress tile and 25% when in a city/capital/fortress tile. I've got a few of these turns to take a look at and I found a rare error that caused a unit swap with an enemy unit in this case. Consider this fixed for the next patch.
