I am not sure of the circumstances - perhaps all my units were set to (G)oto or (H)old, but I have been burned when my units move at the beginning of my turn.

Specifically the following sequence occurs:

1) I have a unit just outside a base programmed to go elsewhere.
2) Computer moves unit towards my base.
3) I want to return my unit to base to defend.
4) BUT, at beginning of my turn, the unit automoves away from base - before I can stop it.

Unit has now moved, using one turn. Two more turns are needed (total of three) to return unit to base. By then the base may already be lost.
