I don't get it anymore. RAW specifically allows the Axis to retreat British units into France, even when FTC gets violated. The example is clear there. And now the FAQ are saying you cannot? I don't get this at all...

The only difference between the two that I get is that in one case the HQ is already in France. and it allows one unit to enter. And the other case covers a HQI retreating into France.

So one can, perhaps, interpret it as if one unit is allowed to retreat into France then all may do so, although some of them might then be destroyed. But if no unit is allowed to enter then they can not be retreated into France.

And if the only allowed hex to retreat into is in France and there is no "room" in France, then the first unit retreated must be the HQI. This because the units must be retreated if possible. The INF is not possible to retreat into France so the HQI is retreated. Now, suddenly, the INF is allowed to retreat, and must therefore be retreated.

I will not repeat what I have already written. You are confusing retreat priorities during the land combat step with the FTC rules.

I think I agree with Paul here. A unit can be retreated into a hex, even if it is in a country where FTC limits apply. FTC limits apply at the end of the retreat step. And that's the moment the owner of the units in that country has to decide which one to destroy.

In any case we would be confusing retreat priorities during the land combat step with retreat priorities affected by the FTC rules.
