Can the leader of a corps unit end his movement in a spot that was occupied by another mini from the same unit?
The learn to play rules say that you may "move aside any minis in the moving unit to place the movement tool on the battlefield, as those minis will be placed back into cohesion at the end of the movement". Of course that doesn't mean that you can ignore the position of the other unit minis for all purposes, but I can't find in the rules anything against it either.
Yes, you can pick up all other minis (in the same unit), move the leader, drop back all the other minis (in the same unit). One reason why this is faster to play than some other mini games!
Excellent, thank you!
Hey, I have another question on corps movement, this time related to climbing/clambering.
Consider the example in the left box at page 10 of the rules reference, VERTICAL COHESION. It shows a unit that's just climbed down, the leader is touching the wall at height 0 while a lone mini has remained at height 1, touching the edge of the wall. What happens if the leader later moves away from the wall? The mini at the top of the hill must be placed in cohesion at height 0, but does that require a new climb action?
Likewise, the right box (CLAMBERING) shows a 3-mini unit whose leader clambers a wall from height 0 to height 1. What if the player decides to leave one of the two other minis in vertical cohesion at height 0? In my understanding the player still has to roll 3 dice for wounds, the decision to leave one mini down is made afterwards. And, again, what happens when the leader moves away and the mini left behind is taken to height 1 for cohesion?

When you clamber, you always roll dice for all the minis in the unit, it doesn't matter if the leader clamber up and 1 mini stayed down. This means that the mini that stayed in another height already "made" the clamber action, so when the leader moves, that mini should be placed in cohesion regardless if it has to be placed on another hight and without rolling dice as the unit clambered there before and the consecuences were already done before when the leader clambered.
Okay so, in short, an entire unit is required to climb or clamber based only on the starting and final position of its leader, right? It doesn't matter if a mini is in vertical cohesion at a different height, if the leader moves horizontally then the entire unit follows him using a standard movement. Likewise, if the leader clambers, then the entire unit is considered to be clambering even if one mini is left behind at its original height. I guess it makes sense.

That is correct
