When a unit Falls Back, each model in that unit can make a Fall Back move by moving a distance in inches less than or equal to its Move characteristic, and when doing so you can move it within Engagement Range of enemy models, provided it does not end that move within Engagement Range of any enemy models – if this is not possible, that unit cannot Fall Back.

WHEN: Battle-shock step of your Command phase, just before you take a Battle-shock test for a unit from your army. If a model has more than one invulnerable save, it can only use one of them – choose which it will use.Systems close to the Maelstrom have suffered increasingly bold raids since the rise of the Red Corsairs.
