One more thing. The engage on Hold should be a bit worse than just normal engage. Perhaps -1 to resolution or something, Since advance is a bit better than hold (not in shooting though, but it allows moving).
While an interesting idea, I think giving the Bugs an "engage" on a Hold action is going to be a bit much. Usually, they will have failed an activation to get there, and it'll often have been "engage", so there's no real penalty in failing.
I've based the "mindless/instinctive" choice of "Hold" on the 40k Tyranid options of "Move" or "Lurk" (stand still and shoot) when they get out of Synapse range.
I know you don't like the Tyranids to be "too shooty" Hena, but, well, they are a *bit* shooty. *laugh*
