Fire and flee + SC = rout = crap

[vfb]

Banefire + flee = holy crap!

I'm not entirely convinced I would have lost. I'm pretty sure your drain life attack has to succeed an attack vs defense roll to hit (though its not obvious from the text). That's why I was so angry. Now you know what my SC looks like and can counter it better.

I was also angry how my other guy attacked your bloody scout. I am unlucky.

If you're prepared to harry an opponent at the expense of territory, fire and flee might be very useful. If he wants to replace his losses, he's not able to move, if he wants to carry on coming, you can whittle his force down.

I agree that a unit is supposed to intentionally flee should probably not cause a morale check. The work around is to use a golem as your SC or other SC that never flees a battle.
