That brings up an interesting ambiguity in the rules.  The rules state
the a squad MAY make a combat movement roll when first going into clost
combat and MUST make a combat movement roll when executing a "follow
through" after a sucessful close combat.

Should it be written that the attacking unit MUST make a combat movement
roll before entering close combat, or can they just make their normal
movement if they wish?
