There is no requirement to move towards the enemy except during the
assault pahse and then only if you are on assault orders. (And then
you aren't even required to move towards the enemy, just required
to move at least 5 cm and restricted from moving further from the enemy.)
In EPIC 40K when I want to execute an orderly retreat I use standard
orders and move away from the front lines. When I want to bug out
I use march orders and move away from the enemy. I also often use march
orders to redeploy tanks from my center over to a flank that I will want
to make a push from on my next turn.
