Pursuit is valuable when you know you will overwhelm an enemy and force a retreat and want to continue pounding that force. The retreat function allows ground units to 'magically' move far further and faster than they usually can under most circumstances. This leaves the winner sitting in the original battle hex facing possibly many turns of delay in getting to the hex the loser retreated to. Units set to Pursuit will get a jump on movement toward the retreat hex. Where this works best is with motorized units on major roads as they can move one full hex in one turn and thus the free pursuit move may get them to the retreat hex immediately, allowing a follow up attack the next turn rather than several turns later as it does for leg units.

The caveat to what HansB said: don't set a few fast units in pursuit mode (Reserve-pursuit) if they will be following the defeated enemy into a hex with other strong enemy forces in it! Been there - done that ...[8\|]

quote: Just throwing in here an idea I have been cultivating, the option to open an ad hoc "land battle screen" or map (editable?), focused on single important locations to start with; my dream would be to see a bigger scale Guadalcanal or Kohima battlefield; Not gonna happen. Besides the game (campaign) takes years to play. How much more time do you wish to add to it by adding a land battle component such as the one you're suggesting? Not to mention the coding that would be involved. In addition I doubt the current game engine could handle it. It is what it is, which is great by the way. If the game weren't I would've be on my way to another years ago. Take it as it is and enjoy the ride.
