Pretender attacks and annihilates Oceania army. Oceania routs, but 50+ units stay on battlefield due to fatigue. Pretender runs around bashing heads of unconscious chaff.

Battle reaches turn 50. I lose battle.

And that was not the best part of it. Because the pretender had gone berserk, he didn't rout, and at the end of the battle died. Elixir of Life never kicks in, of course.

I think I'll reach for the "Create New Game" button.

That's a sad story indeed. There are a number of threads on increasing the 50 turn limit for similar reasons.
