@chrisbump86 Does the attacker have to declare on their combat move which territory or sz they wish to continue to if they succeed w/o taking a casualty?Can they split their forces and go to multiple territories or sz?Can they return to another friendly spot or even to where they attacked from?Would a matter if the attacker needed more than 2,3 or more combat rounds to kill the defender?
If we playtest,these kind of questions are likely to come up.
AARHE Attacker Retreat
-
Even after reading the rules, we are at a conflict.
After either a land or sea battle where the attacker is the victor, can the attacker retreat some or all his units?
-
where the attacker is the victor, can the attacker retreat some or all his units?
Problematic sentence. A victor is when the territory is cleared of one side by combat.
But i think you mean when the defender is eliminated does the attacker need to commit to enter the territory?
After any round the attacker who has not defeated the defender can choose to retreat some units or all and continue or abandon further combat.
So after a round where it rolls very well…its attacking units that rolled ARE committed to enter the territory.
THEY CANNOT ROLL DICE AND THEN WIN, BUT ELECT NOT TO ENTER THE TERRITORY. THAT DECISION WAS TO BE MADE BEFORE ROLLING THE DICE.

oldsalty, yes you can except attacker have to leave at least one land unit behind (in land combat)
in naval combat attacker can retreat all@Imperious:
THEY CANNOT ROLL DICE AND THEN WIN, BUT ELECT NOT TO ENTER THE TERRITORY. THAT DECISION WAS TO BE MADE BEFORE ROLLING THE DICE.
without going into the details of the long discussion…the compromise we arrived at resulted in adding this to the rules
-> Phase 4: Conduct Combat -> Land Combat: Retreat Decision -> Attacker retreat
However if defender has no land units left, attacker must leave behind at least one land unit.and I don’t want to start that discussion again unless oldsalty wants to

No way am I opening that can of worms again!!! :-)
I am very happy as is, just wanted a clarification.
