Is the following rule still true with patch 1.15 ?

[INDENT]you cannot retreat from battle into completely hostile regions (i.e. less than 5% Military Control)[/INDENT]

In ACW Updates.rtf file it is written that begining with version 1.14 you can now retreat in a region with no control :

[INDENT]56.) Changed Minimum control to have in a region to allow a retreat into it to 0, was 5 (adopted from Clovis Mod)[/INDENT]

But in a recent game an ennemy force was unable to retreat from fight for several days and was nearly totally wiped out.

Files are attached, it's the fight in Richmond region.

Hi Mickey3D!

Yes, that rule is true in 1.15 patch. Now you don't need a military control of at least 5% in order to withdraw from a battle. You can withdraw to a region with 0% of military control.

Greetings!

In 1.15,the ZOC ar taken into account for retreat computation. If enemy ZOC value hinders your foce to move in any region, retreat is impossible. As far I know, this rule will be removed in the 1.16 update.
