When facing something wholly new, then I'm going to try and have a means to get away.  I don't think it's shameful to run and maybe that is something that could be imparted through gaming to influence the players position on it?I use different chase rules based upon the environment.  My preference is towards rules that do not require preparation beforehand.  Just a knowledge of the area and whether enemies will give pursuit or not.  I don't care to have to set up a separate "chase scene" encounter design every time the possibility might present itself.</blockquote>
