Europa Games and Military History
Question:
A 2-6 cadre is forced to retreat onto a 5-6 XX. The 5-6 is then attacked, the result is EX. Does the attacker take 5 or 7 points of losses?
Answer:
See rule 9F1, “Retreats”. Since the previously retreated cadre “contributes nothing to the defense” and “is ignored for exchange purposes”, the attacker would lose 5 strength points, the same as the defender lost, not counting strength points which are ignored.

Question:
a) May a 7MP unit retreat into an owned, but unoccupied hex in an enemy ZOC without being cadre/Eliminated?
b) May a 7MP unit retreat into an owned, but unoccupied hex in an enemy ZOC
without being cadred/eliminated while carting 1sp?
Answer:
a) No. The special ability of units with a printed movement
rating of 6, 7, or 8 to ignore ZOCs when retreating (including retreats
before combat) only applies if the unit retreats to a
friendly-owned/occupied hex. If it retreats to a friendly-owned, but
unoccupied hex, it would be subject to elimination/reduction to
cadre/remnant due to the retreat.
b) No, see above
