I would definitelyplay anotehr game before deciding they don't get
enough work, also try with slightly more subordinates to control.

Do you mean voluntary fleeing or fleeing due to being broken? If the
former I think its ok the card draw is still haphazard for that (they
may be ducking and weaving in an effort not to get hit so easy or maybe
they're simply not as fast or strong willed as they think), but if its
involuntary then they could get an automatic retreat each turn until
rallied, you could even say they must be the first actions of the new
turn maybe (analogous to PK saying that route moves must be done before
other movement).
