Hmm, maybe we are playing it incorrectly but if the defending unit fails
the test  we have him fall back regardless of Suppressions as the fall
back is not a VOLUNTARY move. The Neu's would fall back and drop a CL
still maintaining any suppressions.

Well Paul, this is what the dice is all about. The Pan's DO get an
advantage for outnumbering. They get to roll a d8 8 times. The Neu's get
to roll a d8 (first round of combat only) 3 times.

Bad dice is bad dice in ANY circumstances! I wonder what sort of dice
the Light Brigade were using at Sebastapol???????
