When can a defending unit battle back?
The close combat procedure and the evade rule say this; several players agree.

A defender battles back if it survived the attack with at least one block, did not retreat or evade out of its hex, and is still adjacent to the attacker. It does so even if the attack missed entirely, and it can still battle back if a retreat was blocked and it lost blocks instead of moving. Battle back is optional. An evading unit never battles back.
