Confusion about the retreat rule
According to the manual (p. 35), when a force is broken it will retreat to a "random neighboring controlled province," and, if no such province exists, it will surrender instead.
However, this is not what I'm always seeing in my games. As an example, playing as Germany, I foolishly neglected to garrison my North Atlantic provinces before war with Britain, and Britain sent a little one-division force to take one of them. I quickly sent forces to the province and defeated it; however, instead of being eliminated, it retreated to another province that I controlled.
Is there something I'm not understanding or is this a known bug?
