Here is the situation. I take a BT command squad, give them infiltrate and buy them a Landraider Crusader as a dedicated Transport. After reading the rules regarding outflanking, etc. It seems to me that you can Outflank with this unit. Thoughts?

Yep, sure can. And they can even ride in from the side in the LRC.

The BT Codex states Command Squads may buy infiltrate only if they don't have a transport vehicle (p. 33).
I believe this will stop LRC's from being able to Outflank.

No earth shattering, thought provoking quote. I'm just someone who was introduced to 40K in the late 80's and it's become a lifelong hobby. |

@ Sarigar -
Your signature, is that referring to the Editions? or is that some sort of tournament you are in?
|
Please note - terms like 'always/never' are carried with the basic understanding that there are exceptions to the rule, and therefore are used to mean generally...
 
"I do not play people who blatently exploit the rules to their own benefit, in any game. It is disrespectful to the game designers and other players." |

You think that's good? You should meet my friend Kor'Sarro Khan.

Very true. However, take infiltrate with the command squad and buy a LRC as a transport and put it in reserve, take the chance you get to walk it on the board where ever you like  Not exactly the same, but still pretty nice.

No see, you can't do that. That's the point. You can only GET Infiltrate IF you don't purchase a Transport.

Does this work:
Buy infiltrate for squad, but not a dedicated transport.
Buy a LRC as a heavy support option. Place in reserves attached to unit.
If it does, I may have my SW scouts with attached WGPL and IC outflanking in a land raider.

Sorry, I meant purchase the LRC as a heavy on the FOC.

Outflank only gives the exception for 'dedicated transports' to be able to Outflank. LRC bought under the Heavy Support section has no way to be able to outflank.
Now, if you are referring to keeping the Command Squad in a heavy support LRC and being held in Reserve, that is perfectly legal.

Or you can put the LRC (heavy FOC) and the command squad in reserve and take a roll on from reserve, its not exactly a flank march but it certainly has a pucker factor for your opponent.
