Well my friend showed me a neat trick with lash yesterday and it was very funny. I had some psycannons up in a ruins to get some good LOS and also avoid having to CC any MC's (ya, that makes a ton of sense lololol)

He successfully lashed the unit and made them jump down off the building and I actually lost 2 guys to falling
Damn power armor failure lol

Anyways, it then occurred to me that if I fell back from the top of a ruins, I may also be forced to take impact tests right?

Did we play it correctly and are you supposed to test for falling if failed morale check?

The rule says "a unit that is not falling back" (Pg. 99 under "Gravity" section. This is for ruins, mind you. Battlements are the opposite, if the unit falls back while on a battlement they MUST leap down.

Perosnally, though I don't have a rules reference for it I'd say that the opposing player could not allow them to leap down, it's only forced movement it's not forced "fastest possible movement" or whatever.

I guess though if the lash move is treated as a fall back move but in any direction, then you'd have your answer. *Shrug*

A unit that fails a Morale Check will Fall Back (pg29).

If a unit Falls Back while on a Battlement..... they must jump for it. Resolve as if leaping down.(pg95)

That is correct. Lash is hidiously awsome if any battlements or ruins are involved in the battle. And Fall back moves will make you fall if thats the fastest possable way.
