I agree with Dimitris, the rule allows for a portion of defender’s forces to
retire in the city. Since there is no explicit definition of portion of
“something” I can accept that it allows for factors from a corps to retire in
the city while the corps remains outside.

in Lille i followed the rule
7.5.1.1 DEFENDER RETIREMENT INTO CITY: Any forces or portion o 1f
forces upon whom an attack is declared may immediately retire into any
friendly controlled or vacant, and unbesieged city in that area but not so as
to exceed that city's garrison capacity
to me it was clear that as a defender i had this right.
if this should be interpreted in a different way, you have my opinion, the
stage is yours.

Subject: [eiagreek] dropping factors when attacked
Another question that I don't remember if we clarified or what we decided
If a corps is attacked in an area with a city and wants to fight (as opposed to
retreat behind walls) can the defending corps still remove factors from it and
place them into the city?
I thought we could not since defender is not a phasing player, but I saw
Prussia doing that in Lille, shall we play it this way?
