Only in a trench, forest, desert, mountain or swamp space. One extra step, taken from any defending unit, cancels the retreat whatever its length; it is not a higher Loss Number. The last defending step in the space cannot be removed to cancel it, and a unit that retreats into such terrain as the first space of a two-space retreat cannot cancel the second space.
