If an enemy attack forces a Rebel infantry unit standing on an exit hex to retreat, does it count as exiting the board or earn the evacuation medal?

Question

Accepted Answer

No. The forced retreat counts as a hit for the attacker, not as an exit, and a retreat result on an evacuation hex earns no medal. A unit scores an exit medal only by being ordered and moved off the board on its own turn.
