Are the turns simultaneous? Does it go by training status and die rolls, cards, or is it a ugoigo system? – Sorry, cannot figure it out from reading the rules.

It's all simultaneous movement.

Thank-you for the clarification!

Sorry, I'm still confused…

So in a "Move" we declare stuff then move simultaneously? What if I declare a charge and the target just backs off? Who moves first?
Then who fires first in the shooting part of the move? Or do we just all fire and remove casualties after?

If in Move 1 I declare an aimed shot and spend all move aiming, do I have to remind everyone At the start of Move 2? Does the target really get two whole "Moves" of moving before I actually get to fire?

Si-move means both sides write their orders for each unit, then everyone moves at once.
Nobody moves first – that's why it is called simultaneous moves :-)
So the opponent can only back off if he told the unit to do that.

Yes thank you I know what simultaneous means! ;-)
However you are correct, the only way this can work without a mad scramble to move miniatures or a refusal to move, waiting to see where the opponent's models are going, is to use written orders. However I can find nowhere in the rules that states or even recommends that written orders be used.

I did realise however that i'd not seen the bit about Fire Combat being simultaneous

I also cannot think of why a target will wait around for two movement opportunities and allow an aiming figure to fire at them!
