Once compulsory moves and charges have been resolved it is time to move the rest of your troops. Generally speaking, you do not have to move troops at all if you do not wish to, or you can move them as short or great a distance as you like up to their permitted maximum move distance.

The rules governing movement, the encumbering effects of weighty armour, hindering terrain, obstacles to movement, and manoeuvring units on the battlefield are covered in the following section. These rules apply to all movement except where noted otherwise, and so cover charges and compulsory movement as well as ordinary moves.
