Combat unit removal

[Glint]

A poll would be interesting. Another train of thought, (not mine neccesarily!) is that a battle is covered by the map area, but that doesn't mean the borders are the edge of the World? As Mike wrote, it seems strange that a unit would sit and die when there's somewhere to run and, I would also agree with Mike that, maybe the scenario should be dumped, not the player?
One could also argue that, if the unit exited the map then the attack wasn't good enough?
Mind you, I do agree that the removal of units to evade an attacking force from gaining the scenario victory point level would be pretty annoying!
