Rules regarding exiting units

[Reddog]

All units included in a battle should remain on the battlefield until the end... IMHO & obviously if there's no "objective exit hex".

It's my thought that any non-combatant unit is still worth points if eliminated so aren't we then depriving players of those points? It some rare cases the extra points gained by their elimination could make or break a victory or break a tie.

Whenever possible (I'll admit it's very rare that I can do this without getting caught) that's the first thing I do with recon is race them to the rear to look for just these types of targets. Any commander that has excess non-combatant units in the rear either protects them and/or take a chance of losing them.

Of course as Jason has already said it should probably be in everyone's ROE before the fighting begins.
