Q: Could an Inspiring Lt. use his Tally Ho special ability to first move a soldier, then move itself with Tally Ho and then Tally Ho any soldiers adjacent to it after it has moved?
A: Yes. Unless the card states otherwise, a Commander's ability is always "on," both before and after the leader's move. He could also be the passenger in a Vehicle with the Transport SA and use his Tally Ho to inspire his fellow Soldiers forward.
