Before a ship equipped with Squall reveals a command, you may move 1-3 unengaged friendly squadrons that are at close to medium range. Those squadrons may move up to distance 2 but cannot end that movement engaged.

Squadrons that are engaged CANNOT move. However if squadrons are obstructed by an obstacle or a ship, and thus not engaged, they may move.

Since Squall timing is before the ship reveals a command dial, squadrons with the strategic keyword could move and bring an objective token within range of the ship so that when the command dial is revealed, it can interact with the objective token. This affects objectives such as Capture the VIP, Intel Sweep, Salvage Run, and Sensor Net.

All Fighters, Follow Me! Does not affect Squall as it moves squadrons a “distance”, not a speed.

Admiral Chiraneau ability may only resolve when a squadron command is resolved. It doesn’t work with Squall.
