Line 1: Line 1:
A hero may retreat from [[combat]] anytime it is his turn. He may also retreat before combat during his [[Tactics Phase]] if such a phase occurs. Players cannot retreat if the hero is defending in a [[siege]] (unless he is in a [[Stronghold]] that has an [[Escape Tunnel]]) or fighting against an enemy hero wielding the [[Shackles of War]]. The hero will reappear in the [[Tavern]] ready for immediate re-recruiting and retain all artifacts but lose all armies.

'''Note:''' Even if your hero inflicted serious losses to the opponent, if you retreat from combat no [[experience]] will be gained from the battle.
