Default Re: why do routing troops charge the enemy?

Gotta keep all of what Andy said when fighting assaults and in battles were you end up in the enemy rear. During assaults, there is nothing more frustrating when a tank routs and runs right into a section of the minefield you haven't cleared. It's just as bad when you get behind the enemy. You think they run toward the enemy now; it's much worse when they rout from the enemy rear. Not only do they run into enemy you see, they try to push through their layered defense. Positions you don't see when fighting. Bottom line is they won't survive the battle.
