Fanatical nations towed guns

RE: Fanatical nations towed guns
Good question. I do not recall ever seeing guns, other than towed AT guns retreating so I suspect other guns are simply lost during a retreat result in normal circumstances. If so, this is not documented. Maybe someone else knows the answer to this. If not, I will run some tests when I get a chance. Possibly it has nothing to due with being an AT gun but is just a function of the guns movement allowance and also the cost to change into travel mode.

But as you say, since the Japanese are Fanatical, they do not suffer additional losses when unable to retreat, so it makes sense that those guns normally eliminated by a retreat result, would remain in place. The effect you are seeing is definitely a function of the Fanatical rule. And it does not sound like a bug, but I cannot be 100% sure if this was what was intended.

EDIT - Having had a look in the User Manual I see that it says;

"Normally, units which must be in Travel Mode to move cannot retreat as a result of combat and are automatically eliminated if they are forced to retreat.
There is one exception to this rule:
• Towed Anti-Tank guns (that are not immobile) suffer 50% losses to their strength after the assault is resolved but are allowed to retreat and automatically enter Travel Mode."

So, my comment that this was 'not documented' was incorrect. One day I will have to get around to reading the User Manual as it probably has lots of useful information...
