That's not a strategic move, that's a flee and rescue operation. :-)
And an admittance of defeat, of course.
He who runs away lives to fight another day. Fronen's not the military power it once was. I would say our odds of pushing the Horrors out of Vur Hagin unassisted are not great, though we're surely in better shape than Nothoi. Considering that it will be some time before we can expect help from anyone other than Melhed, we may have to undertake a tactical retreat until more help is available.
