Winter attrition for combat evasion

[Admiral Delabroglio]

Hello

During the winter turns (Jan/Feb), does the movement attrition affect an army that manages to retreat before battle ? I have never seen it, and I suspect the retreating armies are immune to it.

Is it intended, or is it an oversight ? I believe an army hastily not packing its supplies and fleeing double quick in front of an approaching enemy should be subject to attrition the same way, or even worse, than an army performing a planned and organized movement.
Also, the IA seems to decide whether to retreat before battle or not based on the strength of the attacking army BEFORE the winter attrition. I tried and attacked an 8-unit stack with a 12-unit stack in winter, I lost 5 units to winter attrition and the IA army suddenly turned stronger than mine. Is it intended or not ?

Likewise, units retreating from battle in the winter months seem not to be affected by winter attrition. Is it also intended ? Battle weary, disorganized units might also be subject to attrition. On the other hand, if they have been badly mauled in combat, it might be an incentive for stragglers to straggle in front of the retreating force rather than behind it, so making a retreating army immune to winter attrition could be a sound decision.

Suggestion : if you should decide to modify the winter attrition, maybe make it a 1/7 chance for Russian units moving in Russia. They are at home and are supposed to be winter trained to a certain extent.

As far as I remember, armies retreating before combat are not liable for winter attrition. Neither are armies retreating after a battle. I believe that this is how Glenn intended it.
