Dead to a man without moving.

Hopefully my tale of stupidity will amuse you.
I deployed a small unit of Viking Huscarles as a flank guard in ambush in a forest. We were using 40mm MU's so I thought I could get out in time. Unfortunately, my opponents MF ran forward like Linford Christie so I was stuck there. I tried to charge some slingers, hoping for the extra VMD to get at least the front rank out. They evaded, I rolled a 1 - so didn't move. The huscarles were then charged by some MF impact foot. Unsurprisingly they disrupted, but managed to hold on for a couple of combats before losing a base & eventually fragmenting. They were then charged in the flank and broke. The dice roll for the rout was 1 so they didn't move, just lost 2 bases. In the JAP I again rolled down so they still did not move, lost 2 bases then evaporated.
Their dedication, steadfastness and courage is unequalled, only the competence of their commander needs to be questioned!
