Donkalleone Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 An Idea just came up for Heavy DropPod lists. Lets say u have 2 Dedictated Troop Choice Pods and bought 2 FA Pods for your TDA. What saying against swapping those and having Turn 1 the TDA coming down in Objective Secured Pods and let the Troops come down in FA Ones since they themself have ObjSec. I didnt find anything in the Rules regarding that when all them come from Reserves.

Leif Bearclaw Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Dedicated Transports can only start play with the unit they were bought for embarked in them. This is why SMs needs to ally SWs or BAs to get a FA pod for the Grav Centurions, instead of just leaving a Tactical squad walking.

Donkalleone Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 But it states "after the Game begins it can then Transport any friendly unit". Since they all begin in Reserves and are deployed in Reserves nothing says i cant do that. Or do i interpret these wording to much in my favor?

Leif Bearclaw Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 But how do you then transfer the random unit to the dedicated pod? Units cannot swap around transports in reserve. The unit and transport count as one unit for the purposes of reserves and are deployed when their reserve roll is made. As a unit cannot start in someone else's dedicated transport, so they cannot be allocated it when what rides in what is determined before any reserve rolls are made. Think about it, if this was legit, then SM tourney min maxers would've latched onto it before the 7th ed SW dex dropped with its undedicated pods to facilitate Centurion deployment. Or, another take on the issue. They cannot start in someone else's dedicated pod. Units cannot re-embark into pods. So how can they transfer?

rgr_maddog Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 But it states "after the Game begins it can then Transport any friendly unit". Since they all begin in Reserves and are deployed in Reserves nothing says i cant do that. Or do i interpret these wording to much in my favor? Yes, but, "you must specify if any units in reserve are embarked upon any transport vehicles in reserve" (BRB, p. 135).so they would have to start the game in someone else's dedicated transport.
