Hey all, just wondering about the tallarn tank orders interaction with big guns never tire and being in engagement range. Can you use the order to get out of engagement range and still fore your weapons? Or will the 6 inches of movement count as "falling back" and therefore make your shooting ineligible?

Because the order tells you to move "as if it were the Movement phase", it means the only movement you can do if you're within Engagement Range is to Fall Back or Remain Stationary, which means the unit can't shoot if it Falls Back unless it's TITANIC.

Since Tank Orders can only be given to LEMAN RUSS units, this means that you can't use the order to Fall Back and shoot with your Blast weapons, you're gonna have to remain in Engagement Range and chance that the non-Blast weapons clear out the enemy unit first.
