But the reinforcements will be considered in the "force broken" calculations totals. Once they arrive on map if the AI is utterly broken then the game will be ended even with these few fresh guys sitting in OK status near the base line. If the AI rout status is borderline, then it will fight on until that changes.

I always plan on the AI getting reinforcments, just in case. Better safe than sorry. It just didn't occur to me in this case. I'm not sure why I actually saw them arriving in the first place. Visibility was 18 and being a delay, I was way over on my side of the map. I saw the reinforcements charge in anyhow. They were a good 50 hexes away when I saw them. A bug?
I have never seen the AI reinforcements in hundreds of battles in reduced visibility unless I had eyes-on to the enemy arrival, so you either had someone over there (including air strikes), or there was a bug, or you are mixing up the review map at end-game (when all enemy are visible). Do you have a save from well before they arrived?.
