A friend and I were playing Marines vs Orks and weren't sure at which point to use the mobbing up rule. We had a huge close combat with 3 squads of orks and a squad of Assault Marines with a Chaplain. Thanks to some amazing dice rolls, I actually won. One squad of boyz failed their leadership and backup check (forgot what it's called) and ran. After fallback move, the squad was just behind the combat. This is where we were confused. Do we make the mobbing up roll at the end of the assault phase or on the next turn? Since they were still within 6 inches, do they fall back again prior to checking? The rule seemed very vague to us. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

whenever the mob's are within 6" of each other they can do it when the move has finished..., well... as they moved when they fel back... i see no reason why not... though as it you are playing a friend... i would go for not, because it is very unlogical... but yeah acording to the rules you can let them join, also you could do it when they are NOT falling back "However, an Ork unit of any size can attempt to join another mob or in other words 'mob up'" although only explained how falling back units can do it... you CAN do it with non-falling back units

You can also do it with 2 falling back units.
