This was happening to me on a regular basis.  It turns out that I had my
character assigned to a combat slot in two forces.  When the battle was run
he would immediately retreat from combat.  When I removed him from a combat
slot in the other force, things started working correctly again.

If MG reruns the combat, it works, since the other force does not get
processed at that time.

You might want to check to see if this is the cause of your problems.
