<p>I have a unit of <strong>Troll Fennblades</strong>.  On my opponent's turn, they are attacked, and many are killed.  Some make a <code>Tough</code> roll, though, and so are merely <code>Knocked Down</code>.  In my next <code>Maintenance Phase</code>, all of the <strong>Fennblades</strong> are entitled to <code>Vengeance</code>, which allows them to advance 3" and attack.  Can they give up that 3" move to remove <code>Knocked Down</code>?</p>

Can models give up their Vengeance move to recover from Knocked Down?

I have a unit of **Troll Fennblades**. On my opponent's turn, they are attacked, and many are killed. Some make a `Tough` roll, though, and so are merely `Knocked Down`. In my next `Maintenance Phase`, all of the **Fennblades** are entitled to `Vengeance`, which allows them to advance 3" and attack. Can they give up that 3" move to remove `Knocked Down`?

**Tags:** warmachine, hordes
