Something I've been wondering for a while - does running a unit off the enemy's map edge have any effect at all?

Obviously when you run a unit off of your own edge, the unit is considered to have withdrawn, but what about the enemy's edge?

Is there an experience/rally boost for the unit, does it affect your overall score, etc.

A number of times where I've won but am mopping up, I've driving pretty much all my mobile forces out of the enemy's edge of the map, then realised "****, what if the game thinks they've been withdrawn, etc.".

Come to think of it, does withdrawing a unit have any effect on experience, points, etc.

There is no point in exiting the enemy edge - other than to remove your unit from any chance of destruction (ie save the points value and crew in a campaign), just like retreating over your edge.

There is no effect on anything else - if it has participated in a battle, it has a chance of gaining experience, if it has fired, more, and if it has gained kills, more chance. If it has been damaged, less chance.
