that's what I though, but it doesn't feel right, I played this game with fun and imaginative way. I think rectangle units usually fast(cavalry), they attack roughly with speed, surprise attack, like in movies LOTR rohan army drives out uruk hai from helms deep. That's what I though about rout effect, it doesn't give significant damage but the surprise element hit their mentality, and make the enemy feel loosing and start retreating, so if all the enemy all ready routed, let say wounded and retreating they cannot handle another surprise attack and get damaged. The drawing aspect or luck to get rout effect is quite rare, so if it has no effect kind of make your luck become bad. But that's just my imaginations slide into this game way too much perhaps. Next time I played I'll just ask other player to follow rules in the book or play imaginatively.
