lol, where's Kato when you need him to split out a thread. here are some historical Kalisz type scenarios.
I'm surprised no one mentioned Xenophon and the Ten Thousand. Greek mercenaries who accompanied the army of Cyrus the Younger in his attempt to seize the Persian Empire from his brother Artaxerxes II. Cyrus was killed at the Battle of Cunaxa and the army was defeated. The Greeks were then betrayed by their former allies. Stranded, with the Persian army behind them and hostile Kurds, Armenians and other tribes in front of them, they made their way from modern day Iraq, Syria and Turkey to the port of Trabzon.
Also the basis of a few novels and the move The Warriors.
or how about the Chinese Communist Long March, the Communist Chinese armies broke out of Nationalist encirclements and fled from eastern China to northern and western China.
