The problem is that it doesn't make sense. If you destroy half the
troops on one side of the board, you'd think that the other half might
be given to thoughts of running. But if you split the tac companies
like that, then they don't... instead the destruction of a squad on one
side of the board might affect a squad on the other side of the map
completely. Given the guard's problems with communications as it is,
how would the troops on the other side even *know* what was going on?

Yeah, I've noticed that; I even point it out on my web page. Of course,
then you've got the problem that you're not really getting what you paid
for out of the unit, but in a large enough battle I suppose it might not
make a difference.
