Second if you have to bash "ridiculous" designers that design top-bottom games say them so *before* including the scenario in the game : the scenario I played is #65 on Iwo Jima ... !
To the designer credit he made a big detailed map of the whole island and setup the various battles that occured there, he couldn't easily "rotate" his map !

Is that so hard to code an North/South alternative retreat path ? ( /duck and cover ! )
MOST of the Iwo battles work just fine with the standard east - west retreat. There are always exceptions.

Switchable or selectable retreat paths have been on my "wants" list for quite awhile but by the time we do all the other things we need to do for release it always ends up an orphan on the "B" list. One of the foundations of the code is the units retreat toward "their" map edge and other additions to the game always eat up the time we would need to sort that out and ensure everything works
