a cavalry unit in forrest targeting an enemy cavalry unit in the open adjacent to the forrest . attacker battles with a -2 while the defender battles back with no penalties
if the attack was initiated by the outside cavalry both would battle wit a -2
one further question re cavalry battling out of forrest . How many hexes out of the forrest does the -2 penalty is valid . Is it just the adjacent hex or any hex reached by the cavalry
I don't agree with your rules vision.
Both units in both cases suffer a -2 penalty as written in the core rulebook (battling in or out) nevermind with attacker or defender status.
I don't understand your second question considering that cavalry only battles in adjacent hexagone.

this is incorrect. Battling back calculates the dice reduction for terrain exactly the same as if it were the attacker.
During a Battle Back the unit calculates its strength, any terrain battle dice reduction, rolls the battle dice, determines hits and retreats, and applies them in the same manner as the attacker.
