Hey folks! A question about the Strategic Warlord Trait "Master of Ambush":

The text refers to "non-vehicle units". If I have troops in a dedicated transport, are they now a vehicle unit cuz of their sweet ride? Or do they still count as infantry, and the term "vehicle units" is meant to refer to tanks, squads of walkers, or other things of that nature?

Thanks in advance for your thoughtful adjudication!

Being in a transport does not turn the unit into a "Vehicle unit" (only Infantry may be embarked in a vehicle - if the unit type changed, the game would break).

Additionally, the dedicated transport will gain the Infiltrate rule (covered under the Infiltrate rule itself).

The infiltrate rule specifically states that a unit can infiltrate along with it's dedicated transport.
