Flight and Engagement

[Kedronis]

Hiya all,

Hoping you can help clear something up for me.  A model with Flight; can it declare a walk to leave the engagement range of another model or not? 

To my understanding places, pushes (in fact any movement which is specifically NOT a walk) can leave engagement without issue. 

With flight saying: "instead of moving normally, this model may Place itself completely within X", where X is equal to this model's Mv." models would be able to fly out of engagements without penalty? (As the prohibited action; the normal walk.  Is replaced by a place which isn't affected by engagement)  

Any insight welcome.

If you are using the walk action, you can not leave a models engagement range.

The manner of movement doesn't matter. place is a movement effect, and you are doing it during a walk action, so you can't leave the engagement range even if you fly.

You aren't replacing the walk action with a place action. You're replacing move with place within the walk action.

Given some models have agile (can walk out of engagement) AND flight, I doubt this is the intention. Otherwise it'd be redundant.

The flight is still a move (walk) action. So it can't be used to leave an engagement range I suspect.
