HeroFromBavaria -> retreat problem in 1.040? (12/29/2009 11:35:38 AM)

Hi everybody,
while playing the standard Total War campaign with version 1.040, we've observed a retreat situation we don't quite understand. A huge german force (40+ units) attacks Kharkov held by an almost equal large stack of Soviet troops. The retreat matrix shows Kursk as the most likely region, closely followed by Rostov (21+d21 vs. 17+d17). When a Soviet retreat is occurs, all the remaining troops retreat to the same area. As I understand the readme for 1.040 and WanderingHeads description in this forum, the region is checked for each unit individually, so even if some defenders end up in Rostov, the larger stack would retreat to Kursk. But it's always all of them either in Kursk or Rostov (luckily not Sevastopol [:)]), which is not likely at all (for Rostov).
Another observation was that repeating this attack from a save game always lead to a retreat to the same area just as if the combat resolution was resolved anew but the retreat roll was already determined (we observed this behaviour in the discontinued version of WaW where OP-Fire rolls would remain the same when reloading the game). By the way, we're playing with the simple supply rules (avoiding to much micro management in PBEM) so no influence due to supply units alters the retreat values.
Have I missed a rule or is this behaviour a bug?
