Retreat and Movement

part of Retreating Clarified in Compdenium 2 page 68
:The backward step taken when retreating does not count against your character’s Move score on the following turn.
:The justification is that your character is being driven back by the force of an attack, not just stepping.
:However, there are those who feel that this is unrealistic.
:As an optional rule, a character who retreats has his Move and Step each reduced by 1 on the following turn.
:Since most characters have a Step of 1, this means that they may not take the “Step” portion of a “Step and . . .” maneuver;
:a character with a Step of 2 could only Step 1 hex, etc.
