Can a unit at its baseline retreat sideways along the edge instead of taking losses?
The rulebook says a unit must always retreat toward its controlling player's baseline unless a scenario overrides it.

No. Retreats move only toward the unit's own baseline unless a scenario rule says otherwise, never sideways. If no such hex is open, the unit stays where it is and loses one figure for each retreat it cannot complete.
