[Rules] Connected Caves

RE: Connected Caves
The process of disengaging and retreating under fire is what is being simulated in the free shot.
Anytime a unit leaves engagement with an enemy who can actively shot at him he exposes himself.

I wonder, now that I think about it---- in a woods hex (for example)--- a unit disengaging gives the
opponent a free-shot....but, as I recall (and checked) no negative combat modifiers apply---thus the "Assaulting into woods" would 
not apply---the retreating unit does NOT get Terrain advantage....

So why would he in a cave either?
I actually already voted to apply the -2...but....according to rules "outside of cave" ... negative modifiers DO NOT APPLY.

The thing about CAVES vs. other places---CAVES will have limited mobility options---and it's easier to prevent the movement
(I conjecture) then it would be retreating in a forest....so---this would mitigate to NOT applying the negative column shift.

I may need to think about changing my vote.....RAW would be no column shift, but they could retreat....
