Either we should be able to attack ships in port by the usual method (clicking our fleet and then right click the enemy) - which doesn't work in 1.2. Or we shouldn't be able to attack ships in port at all. The inconsistency suggests a bug.
By selecting your whole fleet you can blockade a port with enemy ships within it and by selecting all ships in your fleet through the unit card holder you can attack an enemy ship in the port without blockading it. This is actually great.
On the matter of retreating units I feel that the armies tend to run for "home" while fleets just randomly pulls away in any direction which makes it harder to effectively control the seazones. CA should def look into this for the next patch.
