When playing French during our FPW campaign, I flubbed all the retreat scenarios. Fought too much, ran too little. What victory conditions? Look, that enemy unit is disrupted! If we hit it now...
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

Well done, Cap'n - you win a virtual croissant. Yes, that's the kind of thing that can happen when you get your army painted in Bangladesh.
