Here's a play: Bottom of ninth. Score Tied. Bases loaded. Two outs. Batter walks. Batter and each runner MUST advance and touch one base for the run to count. Otherwise, they can be put out on appeal. That would be a force, and would cancel the run.
Same if batter is hit by pitch. In this case, ball is dead.

BB or HBP is a base award, not a force. The subsequent appeal will not cancel the run.
