QUICK ANSWER

What you need to know

A developer explanation says smoke shells are used to reposition allied units: fire smoke near a movable friendly unit and it moves toward the smoke area. Smoke is not described as a simple button that resets your own counter-battery timer.

Primary use

Smoke is a battlefield-control tool. The developer described using it to move friendly units away from danger or into a safer position before you attack nearby enemies.

Do not confuse smoke with Emergency Move

Moving allied units with smoke and moving the IRON NEST itself are separate mechanics. Nest repositioning is handled through Requisition Console movement cards.
