THat isn't true. I thought it might be but I was invading the boot of Italy, had my troops just coming off the boat but not enough movement points to get to the town to siege so I sent the Militia Cav as a screen, then he did his duty of killing some of their guys and then Withdrew. Sure, they did what they were meant to and I don't really care if it says Defeat - I just care that you can't Withdraw from a siege without losing all of your troops.
