Terrify Clarification

Terrify
Q: *A surging warrior makes an unsuccessful roll to move into base contact with a warrior with
Terrify. What happens?*
A: Since the surging warrior cannot move into base contact with the warrior with Terrify this
turn, its action cannot be made and is not counted against the player’s action total for the turn.
Instead, its controller may assign another action.

(2005 FAQ)

Meaning, the terrified warrior is not forced to move this turn if it cannot surge or move.

Hope this helps.

or can choose to move/surge other figs?

It was stated: "May assign another action" meaning the controller can either have that surging fig do another action (move, shoot or surge another fig) OR choose another fig to be given an action.
