Battle Tempo & on the Move vs. being engaged

[Hipper Hopper Table Toper]

I have two questions.

1. Can I use "Battle Tempo" or "on the Move" to get out of the enemy engagement range, so that I dont have to use the "Disengage" Action?

I would say yes since they are not a "Walk" nor a "Charge" Action. Am I correct?

 

2. Can move through a model's base with "on the Move"?

As long as my model do not stand on this base at the ond of this 3" movement it should be possible, right?

Here are the affected Rules:

 

Battle Tempo: During the Start Phase, this model may Push up to 2" in any Direction.

On the Move: At the start of this model's Activation, it may move up to 3", ignoring other models.

 

Sorry if this Question is somehow stupid.

Thanks for your help

Yes you can use both while engaged and to leave engagement, and anything else that has you push or move that's not a walk or charge.

That's primarily what makes the Mercenary keyword good.

yeah thats what I thought. Just wanted to be sure.

Thanks for the fast reply.

One other thing to remember, whilst you can't declare a charge if you are engaged, you can use the charge movement to move through engagement, whilst the walk action can never leave engagement.

Wait, to understand you right.

I made a Sketch.

Model B can use "charge Action" to move through the engagemant range (red) of model A, without geting engaged? Correct?

Model B can move through the engagement range of Model A and becoming engaged will be irrelevant.

When the Walk action says this:

Walk

This model moves up to its Movement (Mv) in inches. This move cannot be used to leave an enemy model’s engagement range.

that's a restriction that only applies to the Walk action.  In order for that restriction to apply to the movement generated by some other action, that other action would have to contain similar language.

I might guess that this feels surprising because you're expecting "engaged models can't leave engagement range" to be something the designers would put in the general rules for movement, instead of just making it a clause for the common Walk action.

ok. good to know.

 

I'm slowly getting into it.

Thanks as always for answering my many questions.

For on the move, you may move through bases (but not end in them) since it specifically says you ignore models.
