Activating to move, not moving

[richvalle]

In a game I was playing I activated a couple of stacks to move. While doing the movement I decided not to move the Eng unit there so as he wouldn't come under Opp fire and I could save him for future assaults.

While I moved the other units the opposing player asked if all the other units in the stack were going to move. My reply was 'they are activated to move' thinking I would not move the Eng but slap a Moved counter on him. He disagreed with that assessment. I told him the Eng were not going to move and he did his opp fire accordingly.

So... is it ok to activate units but NOT move them and mark them as moved?
