H. Publius,

Another diplonomic rules question!

The original Diplomacy Rules say:
> A unit may not retreat to the province from where the dislodging unit
> came or to an "embattled" province, meaning one left vacant by a
> bounce/standoff that turn.
(https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Diplomacy/Rules)

Current Rule 22 says:
> 22. A dislodged unit must retreat to an adjacent province. Retreats
> can’t be convoyed or supported. If two or more units are ordered to
> retreat to the same province, they all must be disbanded. If a country
> fails to order a retreat when necessary, the unit is disbanded.

Reading this on its own, you could retreat anywhere adjacent (even to
occupied territories!)  Obviously that's not true so there are limits not
explicitly spelled out in R22.  Do those limits apply to retreating to
"where the dislodging unit came from" or to "embattled but empty"
provinces under the current R22, as per the original Dip rules?

Thanks!

-G.
