Better part of valour, capture by set-up

Hi,

since setting up a unit is not a move "Setting up a reserve unit is not considered a move for the unit, but it may restrict a unit's ability to move in the same turn.." Do deepstriked or teleported units control objectives when they are set up within 3''of an objective?

rules text "The Better Part of Valour": ...Instead, a player controls an objective if a friendly Battleline unit finishes a move within 3'' of the objective, unless that move was a retreat move.

For this particular scenario the unit would not count as controlling. As you mention, the unit must move onto the objective as setting up is not a move.
