Nope, they still can't mo=
ve past an enemy unless it is engaged. I think
that it's a good argument f=
or why titans need ground support.

On ramification of the not moving past =
rule is that to wipe out a detcahment you have to enage every unit in it. W=
hich is hard to do. how can you surround something without moving past it. =
One thing I wonders about that rule. Is it every stand must be engaged, or =
the detachment must be engaged.
