Here's the latest debate. I don't have anything to add that I didn't already say in that thread: https://forum.corvusbelli.com/threads/cancelling-retreat-for-antipodes-how-many-tokens.23735/
An alternate, slightly nicer discussion thread: https://forum.corvusbelli.com/threads/g_synchronised-isolate.26150/#post-187451 Isolating the antipodes doesn't do anything. Isolating the controller does because it disables the control device.
