About face in response to hidden commmand

As this is topical subject at the moment thought good time just to clarify this. 9.1.4 says 'Or perform an about face'. We take it that the word 'perform' means you just do it and don't have to follow the procedure outlined in 5.3.5 and that section would only apply after command activated? Pretty sure thats right?

Agreed. The about face is automatic. I see this as more of a game mechanism to keep flank marches from being overwhelming than trying to replicate unit maneuverability.

Thanks thats what we thought slight doubt crept in as said free pivot but didn't mention free for about face.
