Withdraw and elevation

[Winlock]

Hello

If a trooper unit wants to withdraw from melee and the only way to do this is by changing elevation (not enough space on same elevation) is it still able to do so (I guess by climbing/clambering)?

If so can Scale or Ascension Cabels help avoid rolling for wounds?

Best regards

Hey there, 

To withdraw, a unit needs to be able to perform a speed 1 move that removes the friendly unit from base to base contact with the enemy unit(s). 
 

Because a climb/clamber is not a speed x move, that would not be a valid way to withdraw from the engagement. Scale/Ascension Cables would not be useable, as Scale requires a move action to trigger the free clamber.
