Do forests, wire or other movement restrictions stop a retreating unit?

The rulebook text covers this, and players on BGG read it the same way.

No. Terrain has no effect on retreat moves, so a unit can retreat through woods, towns or wire without stopping. Only impassable terrain (such as rivers without a bridge or ocean) or hexes holding units block a retreat. One post says retreats follow normal terrain limits, but that contradicts the rulebook.
