I did a search on 'retreat' and found no restriction on retreats that
prevents retreating into an area containing another enemy corps, nor
did I find anything about that in the errata. It is unusual for retreats
in a wargame to work like this---the usual mechanic is to prohibit retreats
into enemy-occupied areas---but the rules give me no reason to think that
this is illegal.
