Actually this is a part where I always get confused (probably misread/miss
reading the specific rule part :))

If say, the SM got clobbered in the assault phase, they have to withdraw
right ? And they have to be more than 15cm away from the enemy, otherwise
they get wiped out, right ?

So assuming some SM units did managed a successful withdrawal and survive,
how did they get into firefight range (15cm) in the firefight phase ?

BTW, supposedly the SM has got termie units, can the SM player
i) roll to save (4+) if the termie units cannot move out of the 15cm range ?
ii) decide to just risk it, let his termie units sit tight and hope the to
save roll will bail him out ?

I know I am probably gonna get RTFM reply from some of you, but I am really
in a lost with the rules at this part.
