Special Manoeuvres
Disengage / Retreat
This special manoeuvre allows a fleet to disengage, and finally retreat from a battle.
Retreating takes two turns: in the first turn, you use the Disengage manoeuvre. While disengaging, the fleet gains a +2 bonus to all defences, but is unable to attack.
In the next turn you can retreat by using the Retreat manoeuvre. The fleet still gains a +2 bonus to all defences but is unable to attack. Next to this, the fleet leaves the battle scene. This might end the battle alltogether, but always ends the battle for the retreating fleet. In the next turn, the retreated fleet can take strategic fleet operations as normal.
This manoeuvre is explicitly allowed while a fleet is in its incapacitated damage levels.
