<ul><li> Other than being an "Any Time" ability and having a 1-round duration, Go to Ground is identical to Dig In, so I've put those rules clarifications below.</li>

<ul><li> "Any Time" abilities can be used at any time during a model/unit's activation, <u>except</u>:</li></ul>
<ol><li> Before any compulsory forfeiture of movement/action. See step 2 of the activation sequence, appendix A.</li>
<li> After the model with the "Any Time" ability has had their activation end "prematurely". By this I mean you resolved something which includes the phrase "its activation ends". Examples include:
<ul><li> Running, failing a charge, or failing a <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Slam" title="Category:Slam">slam</a>.</li>
<li> Abilities that include "then its activation ends" (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Reposition" title="Reposition">Reposition</a> and <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Teleport" title="Teleport">Teleport</a>).</li></ul></li>
<li> In between declaring your charge target and making your charge movement. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?276359-Can-I-cast-spells-after-declaring-a-charge-but-before-moving&p=3862174&viewfull=1#post3862174" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> In between completing your charge movement and determining whether it was a successful charge. (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?253409-Failed-charge-amp-spell-casting-feat&p=3568080&viewfull=1#post3568080" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> When you're in the middle of moving. (Note: <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Cavalry" title="Category:Cavalry">Impact Attacks</a> count as being in the middle of movement).</li>
<li> When you're in the middle of an attack. Which also includes effects that occur "after the attack is resolved".<br/>(Although the attack is "resolved" at Step 11, in terms of using an "Any Time" ability the attack is not "finished" until <i>after</i> Step 14. Refer to the first paragraph of Apdx A.)</li>
<li> Your opponent interrupted your activation to trigger one of their own abilities (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Countercharge" title="Countercharge">Countercharge</a>).</li>
<li> Warcasters/warlocks/etc can normally cast a spell or use their feat "At any time". However, there is a core rule saying they cannot do so on the same activation that they run. So, they are subject to all the same restrictions listed above, <i>plus</i> they can't cast/feat <i>before</i> running. </li>
<li> Units: See below. <br/><br/></li></ol>
<ul><li> In general you <u>can</u> use "Any Time" abilities while you're <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Knockdown" title="Category:Knockdown">knocked down</a> or <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Stationary" title="Category:Stationary">stationary</a> (except Spells and Feats which specify you <u>can't</u>).</li>
<li> If you have a gun with a random ROF, you can use an "Any Time" ability inbetween rolling the number of shots and actually making the first attack. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?276943-Random-attacks-and-animi-casting&p=3863878&viewfull=1#post3863878" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)<br/><br/></li></ul>
<dl><dd> <u>Units with "Any Time" abilities</u></dd></dl>
<ul><li> You cannot use an "Any Time" ability before issuing/receiving orders. See step 1 and 2 of the activation sequence, appendix A.</li>
<li> A model in a unit can't use an "Any Time" ability after they run (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?256828-go-to-ground-after-running&p=3843245&viewfull=1#post3843245" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>) or fail a charge. Because that makes that <i>specific model's</i> activation to end even though the <i>unit's</i> activation is still ongoing, and you can't use abilities on models that are not active.
<ul><li> You can use an "Any Time" ability <i>before</i> running, however.</li></ul></li>
<li> A model in a unit can't use an "Any Time" ability after <i>anyone</i> in the unit has begun a <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Reposition" title="Reposition">Reposition</a> move. (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?256828-go-to-ground-after-running&p=3843245&viewfull=1#post3843245" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li></ul></div></div></li></ul>

</p>
<ul><li> Unlike nearly every ability in the game, Dig In doesn't have a "expires after one turn/round" clause. </li>
<li> Thus you could spend your action on turn 1 to Dig In and (assuming you don't move or get engaged) <i>stay</i> Dug In on turn 2 and use your action to make ranged attacks.</li>
<li> Being pushed counts as moving. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?276978-Dig-in-vs-Push" rel="nofollow">Locked thread</a></b>)</li>
<li> If a model with Dig In is added to play or returned to play, it does not count as "starting the game". It can't be put into play already Dug In. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?278031-Haley3-Revive-Dig-In&p=3871233&viewfull=1#post3871233" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> You can use Dig In while you're in someone's back arc. You are engaging, but not engaged.</li></ul>
