No Time for Sorrows

By ethereal_jb, in Rules

I recently played a game where i engaged Luke to stop him ripping through my squads, i thought this was a good tactic until my opponent played "No Time for Sorrows" and moved Luke moved speed 1 out of the engagement, Is this legal? I was under the impression that to disengage from melee you must either spend both your actions to disengage or kill the unit and this extra move wouldn't allow you to disengage.

Thanks in advance but this won the game for my opponent and its been bugging me lol

Unfortunately for your opponent that was not legal. Page 29:

While a trooper unit is in a melee with another trooper unit,
those units are engaged. A unit that is engaged cannot perform
moves
, cannot be displaced, cannot perform ranged attacks, and
cannot be targeted by ranged attacks.

No Time For Sorrows doesn’t get you out of engagement. Unlike Force Push, which specifically allows it.

To complement what @nashjaee said, even if it's possible to withdraw from an engagement, the rules for that are very specific in that when you do it, you cannot do anything else during that activation other than that speed 1 movement. No Time for Sorrow doesn't override that.
