2nd edition rules...10.10 The Section on Displaced Generals, has "if all cu accompanying the General are eliminated due to Retreat Table casualties, retreat loses or the Naval Table" they are Displaced ... but

The last cu removal is called a "Penalties on Retreat" not loses, so I think he's ok in Saguntum

He is there with no CU, which is another thing but i think he is still on the board.
Also which PC marker is removed for Consequences?
