With zoc-range set to 0, and retreat-chance set to something like 80%,
units will generally retreat, rather than get hit, unless completely
surrounded. with zoc-range 1, you can surround with 3 units.
Even better might be 2 infantry types. infantry and demoralized
infantry. Infantry when "wrecked" change into demoralized infantry,
who have a retreat-chance of 100, and some reasonable amount of
acp-for-retreat, and otherwise just performs production actions to
become the normal infantry type. Have the infantry regenerate some
reasonable number of hp/turn, so it takes multiple units bashing on
them to get their hp down to 0, and I think everything behaves just
right...
