I'm just learning this game and I have a simple question to ask. Digging in normally happens in your movement phase if you don't actually move. Germans get to do a stormtroopers move where they treat the assault phase as a movement phase. Would it then be possible to move 6" during your 1st movement step and then use your stormtroopers move to dig in if you elect not to actually move during your stormtroopers move?

Nope, you can only move during you stormtrooper move.

As Makarov said. The exact wording is that when a platoon passes it's Skill Test, "the platoon treats the Assault step as a Movement Step in which it can move up to another 4", regardless of its normal movement distances."

Yeah, you can use the Stormtrooper move to move 4 more inches, but you cannot use it to dig in.

Alright thanksfor the responses guys.
