For each SP used 'moving forward' the Steam Tank can move 3" straight ahead. For each SP used 'pivoting', the Steam Tank can rotate on its centre up to 90° left or right. The Steam Tank can also move 2" straight back for each SP spent 'moving backward'. You can freely decide how to spend your SP, mixing forward and backward movement and pivots however you like, as long as you have enough SP left. Remember though to save some SP for the Shooting phase if you want to fire any of the Steam Tank's guns.

All kinds of difficult terrain count as being impassable for the Steam Tank. On the other hand, Steam Tanks get to move through obstacles as if they weren't there (low walls, fences and hedges are no obstacle to the armoured might of the Empire!). In addition, after the Tank has moved through the obstacle, remove it from the table or, in the case of a very long obstacle (more than 6"), consider that a breach has been opened in it, wide enough for a unit (up to 6" wide) to move through.
