Retreat! allows Infinity players to continue to play as long as there are survivors on the table, fighting to their last man to turn the game around at the last minute.

In game terms, each player, at the beginning of their Active Turn, during the Tactical Phase, must make a count of their Victory Points. For this purpose, consider any Troopers that have not yet been placed on the table (Airborne Deployment, Hidden Deployment…) as survivors. If the sum of the Victory Points is equal to or less than 25% of the points available for building the Army List, then that army enters a Retreat! situation.

End-Game: Retreat!

End-Game: Retreat!
Army Points	Point Value of Survivors (25% Army Points)
400	100 Points or less
350	88 Points or less
300	75 Points or less
250	63 Points or less
200	50 Points or less
150	38 Points or less

Characteristics of an Army in the Retreat! Situation

An army in a Retreat! situation is automatically in a Loss of Lieutenant situation.
As long as the army is in the Retreat! situation, the player cannot name a new Lieutenant. If the Retreat! situation is cancelled and the army has a Lieutenant, then the Loss of Lieutenant situation is also cancelled.
In a Retreat! situation the Impetuous Phase of the Player Turn is not applied. So, [[]Impetuous]] or Frenzy Troopers cannot be activated in the Impetuous Phase.
In a Retreat! situation, all Troopers who exit the game table via the widest side of their Deployment Zone are considered to have survived the battle and can be counted as Victory Points by their owner.
When a player whose army is in a Retreat! situation has lost or evacuated all Troopers in their Army List, the game ends, unless the specific end-game conditions of the scenario being played indicate otherwise.
At the beginning of each of their Active Turns, players make a count of their surviving troops. If the point cost of the survivors is more than the 25% threshold—because an Unconscious troop was restored to combat readiness, for example—then the player's Retreat! situation is cancelled, the Retreat! Tokens (RETREAT!) are removed from their Troopers, and the Troopers' Retreat! States are cancelled.

Retreat Quick Reference Chart
If a player's surviving Troopers account for only 25% or less of the Army List, then that player declares a Retreat!
The Army is in Loss of Lieutenant situation.
As a result of the Loss of Lieutenant situation, all Troopers become Irregular (there may be exceptions due to Special Skills or other circumstances) and the corresponding Irregular Order Marker is placed next to each one of them.
A Retreat! Marker is placed next to each one of the Troopers on the gaming table.
Troopers with a Retreat! Marker may only perform Basic Short Skills, Dodge, Reset, and Cautious Movement.
Troopers with a Retreat! Marker that exit the table through the broader side of their Deployment Zone are counted as Victory Points.
At the beginning of each Turn, Victory Points must be counted, and should the surviving Troopers account for more than 25% of the Army List, then the Retreat! is cancelled.
