Forrest question reworded

The problem arose when looking at what units were in the area. The
Marines were in the forrest and only the Kult of Speed with their
buggies and bikes were around. The forrest was small enough that the
bikes could have gotten to the Marines in one turn at advance speed
per the rules.

I know these aren't the optimum units to use in this situation and
we've ruled that they can't clear a forrest. They would be pretty
good at holding one though. What I need to know is:

1)what happens when someone on advance ends his move within 1 cm of
an enemy stand? If they can't initiate CC and the Marines can't fire
on them is it just a stale mate?

2)let's say IG are in that forrest. They are pretty useless in CC so
they really need to whittle down the enemy before they get there. It
looks like they can't do it until the charge gets to them and they
get their First Fire and hope that's enough.

Of course we always try to set the units up on the edge of the
forrest where they can take advantage of cover and still pick off
others but the situation always arrises where they have to fall back
into the forrest and surround the objective and the other group has
to go in and get them.

Thanks a lot everyone for your previous replies.
