The Black Watch Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi, I've had a look and can't find this anywhere else. 1. Can a Tactical Squad choose 2 razorbacks for DT's since they can only transport 6 models? They would have to be in combat squads obv to use them. 2. If I buy a Land Raider as a Heavy choice can I start the game with a Tactical Squad inside? 3. If a transport moves at cruising speed, units cannot fire from it but they can disembark and then fire. Is this correct? Thanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/174207-questions-regarding-transports/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattleDV8 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 1) a unit can take one and only one DT ..... Combat squading happens when deploying and has no bearing. 2) yes you may. 3) That is correct.

avatar8481 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 If I could add my own questions to this thread: 1) Does a shaken or stunned vehicle result prevent an embarked unit from firing? I assume it works the same as smoke (ie. embarked unit is seperate and unaffected but I don't have my BRB with me) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/174207-questions-regarding-transports/#findComment-2062500 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattleDV8 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 They may not fire if they remained embarked, if they disembark they can fire normally.

avatar8481 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 that was how I thought it should be played too, but in my rush to continue the game I didn't look up the rule, do you have a page reference?

The Black Watch Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 2. If I buy a Land Raider as a Heavy choice can I start the game with a Tactical Squad inside? With regards to this, can the Tac squad stay inside and count as scoring like with a dedicated transport?

Legatus Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 The scoring rules on page 90 don't specifically refer to dedicated transports. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/174207-questions-regarding-transports/#findComment-2069542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 With regards to this, can the Tac squad stay inside and count as scoring like with a dedicated transport? So, yes. This is one of the things that can make Tac Squads really nasty for holding objectives. And it's a mainstay tactic in Mechanized SM lists.

Scott-S6 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Remember, the one and only restriction to dedicated transports is that units other than the squad they are bought for can't start deployed in them.
