   For the record, I agree with Joel.  Withdrawal is generally a one shot 
deal.  Either you get away or you don't.  The thing with Outflank is just an 
exception to that rule.  (And it makes pretty good sense.  The pinning force 
in an Outflank maneuver isn't doing much more than a force engaged in a Probe 
maneuver.  Basically, if the withdrawing troops don't run into the flanking 
force, then they should be able to get away.)
