Great point. The defender may not have been facing the attacker anyway. So it may be contrived to force the defender to face him as we suggested. (The defender may be more preoccupied with a bigger threat anyway.)

Yes, and more generally, the resulting facing of the defender may be significant.
Assume the following:
- Side A controls the attacking figure. Figure B of side B was forced to retreat.
- There are several side A figures in close proximity to figure B.
- Side A must move first on the following turn.
The resulting facing of figure B (from the retreat) could engage and constrain the movement of any one of several side A figures.
