I suspect that the AI is trying to execute a fall back routine, but it might not be working quite right.
During my initial assault I pounded the beaches with heavy artillery and air attacks. I saw loads of those french light tanks 'H-something or others' falling back, a sensible action given the circumstances.
But once I got my armour on land and pushing inland I found on two of the objective areas loads of these tanks acting as they were parked up, just sitting on the objective areas. It turned into a bit of a turkey shot, as they were reluctant to do anything, other then the odd one running away!
OK their moral was pretty shot out, they were all retreating, or routed. It does seem that the computer can identify a sticky situation, an will withdraw, rather then stand and die, but after that it seems to be unable to redeploy, a pitty, because if it did, it could have led to a couple of interesting counter attacks

Dave,
I saw those same messages. One thing I noticed is that it looks like they've introduced some randomness in the movement of vehicles. I've seen vehicles move forward then move back. I think because the extra vehicles were lined up against the map edge, when they went back, there was nowhere to go. Notice that the messages came during the normal movement phase, not the retreat phase.
