I thought i would ask this because i've kind of always assumed it worked this way and have never seen any reason to doubt that it works this way because it has always seemed to pay off for me. But it's not really described in it's effects and i know that certain statistics thrown at us in the game are often incorrect.
Defensive Stance was used on my unit last turn, i now have to activate him, the statistics show me the chances of being hit by Attacks of opportunity with Defensive Stance's increased dodge in the calculation. The Defensive Stance animation remains on the unit until i move the unit and not until that movement has finished being animated. Does the dodge bonus carry on through this unit's next movement when it is activated like the animations and statistics seem to suggest? And to be clear the animation disappears after your first movement, if say you move 3 spaces out of your unit's 5 movement range and then choose to move with the remaining 2. The animation/statistics/effects have all vanished after that first movement the second movement will be unbuffed.
Is it intended? are the descriptions simply lacking this important detail? I use to rely on it pretty heavily in VIP, defensive stance my powerful wolfen unit, then next turn rush right through the enemy lines and catch their notable with an offensive stance and often end the game.
