Are flips and returns from tactical abilities mandatory when the card doesn't say "may"?
The designer confirmed the rule for Maneuver and Ambush, and the rulebook's tactical abilities section states the general rule.

Yes. A tactical ability must be carried out unless its text says "may", so the flips on Maneuver and Ambush, Redeploy's return, and the opponent's flip from Disrupt are required whenever a legal target exists. If no legal target exists, the ability is ignored.
