Because you lost. The winner is the one who is in control of the situation. And if the defender can take a wound *rather* than take AP loss, then that will prolong a contest considerably. Most of the wounding that happens is usually done when they know the enemy is going to be able to retreat so they will be in bad shape next time they are met.
Or so it seems in the group I have been running with since Dec.
