I am about to experience this retreat direction problem. Have units at Lashio trying to retreat SW on those trails. Will place money that when CR attacks those troops will retreat TOWARDS Katha and not towards safety...

STUPID!

I control every hexside except the one through which the enemy units arrived (the hex to the NE). Therefore, I think the only route of retreat available is to the NE, back into the jungle.

balls to the wall.

I think this term is actually from WWII. IIRC it was used when pilots pushed their throttles to full power.

Dan looks right though none of his troops have been that direction down the trail.

It will be just like what happened with my Magwe HQ, ID, and other units went North instead of SOUTH where it made sense and did not mean the total destruction of the units.

Just how the game works...

I had the only unit in the hex, meaning I controlled every hexside. Your unit entered through the NE hexside, so you gained control of that hexside. So that's the only route of retreat.
