The first time I played SG2 (at a convention) the house rule/ruling that
they
used allowed for units to voluntarily retreat in certain circumstances.
One of
those circumstances was in response to a charge into close assault.

I like keeping the rules as close to written as possible, and to keep
them as
simple as possible. Therefore, I'd let the unit retreat but treat it
exactly
as though it had failed the Reaction Test to stick around. That is, they
can
retreat their base move or 6" AND they lose a Confidence Level. As
implied by
the rules, they can do this even if suppressed.
