Advance Move

(Rule)
Description: When performing an Advance Move, a unit can move forwards, backwards, or sideways, but it cannot move in more than one of these directions during an Advance Move:

Forwards: The unit moves forwards a distance up to its Advance Rate. During a forward Advance Move, a unit may perform any number of Wheels.

Backwards: The unit moves backwards a distance up to half its Advance Rate (this is not considered a Characteristic modifier). For example, a unit with Advance Rate 5" could move backwards 2.5".

Sideways: The unit moves to either side a distance up to half its Advance Rate (this is not considered a Characteristic modifier).

When performing an Advance Move, no model can end its movement with its centre farther away than its Advance Rate from its starting position. If a model in the unit performed any action during the movement (such as a Sweeping Attack), the distance moved is measured from the model's starting position to the point on the Battlefield where it performed that action and then to its final position.
