Since nobody did answer on my replay post and I am still curious why this is happening, here is the replay again:

Multiplayer B881018 4 on Terra 2

8:20-8:40 4 Kodachis had a force fire command on hover fac, but decided to move from incoming units without my input. This resulted in my Kodachis no longer staying in attack range and not killing the fac. This was a WTF for me and should never happen in my opinion.

Force fire doesn't imply shooting at the target. It will still use unit AI to jiggle or kite, and for some units kiting means awkwardly staying just outside of range. The safer route is to use set-target with hold position.

I see some Kodachis doing the awkward kiting dance, where they drive backwards every time they get into range. This is something I've seen previously with Cyclops and even Paladin. Also it seems like the Kodachis don't have the attack order on the fac all of the time.

In general this is a situation where I'd go with settarget and hope it doesn't screw me over.
