Is the force lost or can it retreat back to the fleet?
Do the fleet need to be IN the harbor or is it ok even if it stay put in the seaprovince?

Note that the latter will also act as a supply source for a landed amphibious force in a neighbouring land province.

Ironclad do they go all the way back eg when I defeate Feds in New orleans (solo game) I get a message Feds retreated to Annopl err Androp ... Maryland!

Now in a PBEM case would the fed player be able to divert the reteating forces and drop them off in say Willmington, or, once beaten and withdrawing by sea can they only go back to Marland.

All the Best
