Its not often, but there are times where the enemy gets back to back turns because of tm gains or because my whole team gets stunned. When this happens, the battle can go from feeling like I can still win to "oh crap, close the app now!" real quickly. I've had a medicore team equipped in gw without paying much attention to who I was facing & lost without getting a turn.
Does anyone know if there is a reason we are unable to retreat during the other teams turn? The game can be paused by swiping down from the top of the screen or hitting the window change button in the lower left on android, so it seems like the ability to pause during the other teams turn isn't an issue. You can close the app & restart it at that point, but I don't understand the point of making us restart the app as opposed to just leaving the settings button accessible.

Lol, maybe twice.
Fair point.
So if I counter attack, I can retreat?
The original retreat, didn't reset the mission. It retreated at it's current state so if you lost someone and retreated, they were dead. However, the enemy state maintained it's status as well so you could go in with a team take out the leader and retreat and then return with another team to clean up the remaining 4 opponents.
IMO, it led to a much more strategic thinking on how to win rather than retreat and repeat.
So it was like escape?
That's the issue I see in GW anyway. Retreat isn't like the escape power in raids. It's accessed from settings, and is a complete reset of the battle. Like OP pointed out, you can pause during opponent's turn. You should be able to access other settings like volume or whatever else is in there. So why not escape?
Yes but for entire team and it was 100%. People complained at the time that others were using force close to bypass the loss of a character and others complained because people would use the escape/flee to work on cooldowns and heal. They would kill every opponent except for a single high-health, low damage (Chewbacca) character, retreat and then bring in a healer to heal the team back to full before killing Chewie.
As with everything else on the forums, people argued over this and the reset option won.
