So when I successfully play an offensive retreat card, how come the enemy deals some damage to me?

The card says that I deal an unopposed damage round...

I took that to mean that the damage you caused wouldn't be mitigated by Deflectors, Shields and Flak. But I could be wrong. It's also possible that the ingame description is wrong.



On the wiki page it says:



Offensive Retreat: Retreat at end of phase. Both sides get 1 round of attacks (You get 2 free rounds of attacks)

Hope that helps.
