        AFAIK, this is how the rules work. If you are on assault
orders, you get to make an assault move (same as your normal move).
If you are infantry, your assault move is twice that of your normal
move.

        So, Land Raiders and Mycetic spores are not infantry, so they
do not double their assault move.

        Also, how is "Forced March" better for these troops? Yes, it
gets you there at 3x speed instead of 2x speed for assault, but you
don't get an assault move, so how are you supposed to get into
Assault unless your opponent does it for you?
