I think this is a must for the sequel as it pissed me off in the KA1.One should be able to save their Heroes and sexy units for another day in tactical combat and not just in auto resolve.

You can order your units to withdraw and give them a direction to go (where they won't clash into another unit of enemy soldiers again). If you simply tell them to withdraw but you don't tell them where to go, they will get out of the fight, but then they'll just start fighting again because the enemy is still too close.
I mean retreat from the tactical battle completely, like in Totalwar.As it stands if you lose a battle all your units are dead and the hero is in prison.I think withdrawing from a battle when you are doing badly should a option in tactical combat.
It’s unlikely that in King Arthur 2 you’ll have a chance to retreat your units from the battle completely, the conception and the tactics are different than in historical games.
I have usually had pretty good success just withdrawing them in another direction. But I never ever turn autoattack on unless the battle is already won.
I presume the reason you cannot do this is to stop wars going on forever. Remember if you can do it so can the AI... presumably this is the reason we have battles of annihilation.
The costs for reinforcing units stop that.I dislike the fact that lots of experienced units are all dead if you lose a battle with no option to save them in KA1.
