Noob question! Having spent an order to enter close combat and failed to kill the target, as the active player can I spend another order to leave combat by declaring move and shoot at the target with my second short order? It came up tonight and we weren't sure what penalties or if it was even possible (so I just killed him in CC :D). Thanks in advance
No. You need to Dodge to be removed from the Engaged state with a non-null or immobilized enemy. http://infinitythewiki.com/en/Engaged
