That is a direct way to resolve the issue.
However, it can be too easy for a pursuing attacker to ensure that the defender no longer engaged him (for a defender that was not directly facing the attacker's hex.) It may be weird that the defender would just "turn his back" as the result of being forced to retreat.

I've wondered to what extent you can apply this general facing rule:

A player may change the facing of a figure whenever it moves, and may always change its facing at the end of its movement turn, even if it stayed in the same hex.

Could this
move also apply to retreats?
Skarg has already enlightened me to the sometimes ambiguous and overloaded meaning of
move in the rules.
