Which Captain retreated the most?

Would you consider her game of Starship Chicken at the end of "SCIENTIFIC METHOD" to be reckless?

Ironically, no.

On the surface, it certainly looks like it should easily qualify. But the only alternative she had was basically the same as Picard's against Nagilum: the crew getting randomly and horrificly gutted.

I always took it as a planned withdrawal he cleared with Starfleet before the battle in "Call to Arms." Kira is taken aback when he tells everyone there's not going to be any reinforcements sent to Deep Space Nine, saying they'll be "busy" with something else.

So I always believed the plan from the start was to hold DS9, deploy the minefield, and keep the Dominion fleet busy so the Federation-Klingon task force could hit the Dominion shipyards.

I'm sure the plan was something like hit the shipyards and then move to retake the DS9 though that plan when out the window when they kept getting whipped by Dominion strategic and tactical advantages like the long range sensor array.

Good morning.

Here is a fairly straightforward question: of the TOS to ENT Captains, who - above the rest - tended to play it safe by engaging in "tactical withdrawals"?, Yes, there is something of a difference between a "retreat" and the wordier "tactical withdrawal", but I am essentially wondering which Captain was the most cautious.

Jean Luc Picard.

Hell he often never even returned fire until a Ship he commanded was heavily damaged.*

The man rarely saw a battle worth entering into and would often do moist anything to avoid conflict, no matter what ultimate detrimental effect it could have on the UFP or Humanity.

*-See the USS Star Gazer in TNG S1 The Battle; and the 1701-D herself in both TNG S2 Q-Who and TNG S3 Best Of Both Worlds.

Damn that traitor to humanity.
