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.

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.
