Hello all.

What are the retreat rules? I find the types of retreats described in the manual but do not find WHERE units are likely to retreat. Am experiencing a lot of randomness on this so far including units retreating to hexes in enemy ZOC when safe hexes are open. What is the story here?

My rule is take no chances and physically block any retreat routes you don't want them going to. It's the only way to be sure.

Hi Wadortch,

There's a check list of priorities involved but keep in mind a unit may not always be legally able to retreat into a safe hex for a variety of reasons such as being truck borne in mud conditions, armour being unable to move into a swamp, or having insufficient remaining AP's for the terrain.

Vic might chime in here with more info.

Cheers,

There is a bit of randomness. But expect the enemy to flee in the opposite direction of your direction of attack.

Best wishes,
Vic
