This happened not so long ago, when British corps retreated from Saint
Malo, there was a French depot with 1 militia at Cherbourg and the
British corps continued the retreat.

So, according to the rules only depot (not city) garrisons forces
the corps to retreat one more area.

To be honest i may not recall cases where we allowed for this to
happen (let's hang those who did it!!!!), but my understanding is
that when a corps retreats it moves to safety towards a supply
source (either depot or its capital if no depot is on the map).
So, it should retreat in an area where it may conditionally trace
supply and a garrisoned area is not valid for this purpose.
i will check the rules again if there is something more clearly
written.

in areas with garrisoned cities we have already allowed corps to
retreat and none objected. Which is not unrealistic to me, since
the garrisons are said to be inside the city. But garrisons on
depots, are in the area, not in the city. So how we treat possible
retreats there?

My understanding is that garrisoned depots are treated the
same as garrisoned cities, which means there is enemy presence
in the area since it blocks supply line. Consequently, you may
not retreat in that area.

Do we consider depots with garrison a hostile force in the
area for retreating reasons? For example can a French corps
retreat post-battle into an area where Prussia has a
garrisoned depot?
