If you order your units to advance and they are attacked en route will they automatically return fire?
Q: Hey, when you order your troops from Point A to Point B, and on the way they get attacked, do they fight back or just keep advancing?

A: It depends on the order they are currently following and who attacks them. If they are moving and they see one of their 'prey', for example if gunships see a tank they will stop to engage. If they see a 'predator', for example if a tank sees a gunship, they'll try and get the hell out of there. If they have a retreat order nothing stops them from getting the hell to their target. Also you can give a 'force move' order with a double click that tells them to ignore anything except reaching their destination.
