This I can envision...

Rearward movement is not mentioned, AFAIK. But "Advance"
and "Charge" are just the names of the orders; there's nothing in
the rules that states that a unit on advance orders *must* move
towards the enemy. You can use those orders and still move in a
rearward direction. Fall Back orders represent a disorderly rout
(hence the firing and CC penalties), not a controlled action to
withdraw.
In E40k, none of the orders aside from Assault carry any
sort of movement restriction, so again you're free to move closer
to or away from the enemy.
