[Rules] 14.31 Fleeing

[campsawyer]

I look at the edge of the board fleeing that even though it may seem unrealistic, I believe that that it abstracts the unit fleeing off board. Many games have units eliminated if they flee off the board, but it really means they have just moved away from fight no necessarily eliminated. I believe that even off board, they could play a role in the battle by possibly recovering and possibly rejoining the fight, or they can just be eliminated.

By having them stop at the edge, they still have give both options to occur as well as degrading the other fighting force, as they will be required to recover as well as be a target for enemy OBA to get a cheap step loss for VC's. So although it maybe an odd game rule versus reality, in the bigger picture I think it is a good abstraction. Or at least a good one for now until one of our PG geniuses dream up another.
