Sometimes rules are bent so that the exercise can continue. Lots of stuff gets tested in these wargames and they cant afford to let anything disrupt it.

For example, when i was stationed in Germany our Infantry battalion once held off an opfor brigade at a river crossing for two days during the opening of REFORGER 80, a huge annual exercise which involved entire army corps from several nations. Although we could have held longer (we were kicking serious butt), and it was our mission to hold out as long as possible, our riverside stand was holding up the whole exercise and the umpires ordered us to retreat so that it could go forth.
