It's also very easy, and often doesn't matter (but sometimes can, because it can determine who that figure engages, and who might be able to jump the retreated figure in HTH, during the upcoming movement phase).
Yeah, this was the way we always played it -- figuring that the character being forced to retreat was being "forced" to by the tactical situation more than anything else. Physical Knockback (or knock down) is an entirely different issue of course.
