Another idea (worse than your #1): give a directional retreat order.
Like the way you set up an MG. You can give that retreat a direction.
That way you would give a directional retreat order, and the squad would retreat the first 5-20 range into that direction and then start its normal retreat.
You would not want to allow that in any direction opposed to your base.
This idea is not perfect, like your #2, but may be it is food for thought.
I have suggested this in the past also.
There should be two retreat options.
1) Normal instant retreat to base.
2) A retreat button similar to A-MOVE. The unit moves to the Amove spot then back to base.
I suggest #2 because retreats usually are decided in a split second. You dont have time to map things out.
The problem with normal retreats is when you are on the opposite side of a long flat movement blocker. You have no idea which way the unit will go.
For #2 I would suggest retreating only backwards not forwards as Gunther suggested.
