What you seem to be saying is that if your enemy routes first it prevents yours from executing.

I have seen several battles where I have received 3-4 routing messages - and yet normal troops stay on the battlefield.

I have always presumed that Max was correct - that it was a unit route message.

Alternately, I wonder if the computer is checking the various route conditions, and the units in question fail to route due to berserk, entangled or what have you.

For example, you can route from morale loss, hp loss, so perhaps the first route condition is failed - the route message flashes but because there are still units on the field - when the second condition occurs - the msg flashes again...
