After damage is dealt in combat, can I retreat my unit to save it while still having killed some of the opponent's units?

Ruling: No, you cannot retreat after damage is dealt. Retreat must happen before damage is dealt, so you would not get to deal your unit's damage if you retreat.

Sequence:

  • Retreat occurs before damage is dealt
  • If you retreat, your unit does not deal damage
  • If damage is dealt first, the opportunity to retreat has passed

Nuances:

  • If your unit has already dealt damage and killed opponent units, those kills stand, but you cannot then retreat that unit afterward
