Can Final Assault be played when an enemy has no legal retreat move and loses a figure instead?

The publisher's staff gave the final answer after checking with the designer, and it replaces an earlier interim answer.

Yes. A unit is forced to retreat when it suffers the consequence of at least one retreat icon it cannot ignore, whether that is a retreat move or a lost figure. Final Assault can be played even if the target never moves. An earlier interim answer that it could not be played was overturned.
