Battle Drills: Opting-In

[MrFix]

Battle Drills perk from TS37 requires all participants of the drill to Opt-In via Ready maneuver.

If you opt-in, you must take a Ready maneuver to get in position, check the positions of your teammates, etc. This is known as “forming up.”

Going from that, it seems to imply that you can MOVE unspecificed number of hexes to 'get in position' for this specific drill. Do I have it right or does a character need to actually use Move maneuver to move towards the hex designated by the Drill, and only then opt-in?

You make take a Step as part of a Ready maneuver. If a Drill requires you to be in a place further away than a Step, you can't opt in that turn, but unlike what you might expect from the ordinary use of the word Drill, the Battle Drills *perk* doesn't usually require specific positioning. It's largely rename of Teamwork and offers a bunch of mostly non-location dependent benefits. It's not very closely connected with the Battle Drills *section* on TS22.

Thanks for clarification.
