I don't know if this has been reported before but I haven't found any thread for this issue, this may be a bug or, if not and working as intended, should be IMHO reconsidered. Whenever I move (as France) one of my big fleets around the map and happen to encounter some single ship, mostly a merchant, in a sea area, combat occurs. If I understand the model correctly in such cases only the fast class ships of your fleet(frigate, maybe 4th class) participate in combat. So this results in battles often including only one of my big fleet's opposing a single merchant. I use to resolve such battles instantly and, in case of defeat, have my entire fleet displaced. The model seems to attribute the minor encounter's result to the entire fleet so a single merchant is able to cause a vast superior force to route. I think the outcome of such minor battles should not apply to the main fleet.
