Can you change the direction of AI retreat?

Thanks everybody for your input.

When I created the map I didn't use the create beach tool,I did it all manually.
I'm curious what the retreating rebel forces are going to do when the run into the ocean?
Will they just stop at the beach?

They probably will, unless they have rafts.

They may retreat along the coast away from the enemy forces if the enemy units are close enough.

Here is your answer:

If they posses swimming ability/movement they will start moving/swimming through the water hexes until they reach the edge of the map.
If they don't have water movement and they become very suppressed they will probably surrender.

Thank you Pyros,going to make sure they don't have any rafts

Do you still recomend that I swap the sides?

Probably it is better if it is the player's units that retreat to the water hexes, because you will have better control (moral control, protection, smoke cover, etc...) over their reactions.
Leave the Rebels(AI) to retreat towards the land hexes as you will have a better overall result.

cheers,
Pyros

p.s It is weird

... how did you manage to create "beach landing game conditions" without using the beach creation tool or using the SHIFT+$ function??

Not sure exactly,I tried the make half map water option,but I wasnt happy where the beach was,so I started over.
Perhaps I didnt start totally fresh and that carried over to what I have now.Only thing I can think of.

Yes, this is the case.

The game ,once you have clicked the "create beach" button has automatically changed the map from "normal" to "beach landing"...
After that action, the only way to make your map a normal map would be to manually alter the condition by shift+$.
Anyway, good luck with your scenario designing work!

cheers,
Pyros
