Assault Vehicles ? What I read is that troops can assault from a Vehicle if it did not move. I found rules, that a unit may charge from a Rhino if it does not move.{BRB pg 67}

In the case of LR's/ Assault vehicles, I hear lots of different rules. LR- a unit may disembark and take a full turn: Move,Shoot and assault. I was told they can disembark (counts as movement) Shoot and assault.
I was giving advise on a assault unit: disembark 2", Move 6" assault 6".
IMO At the worst, the disembark counts as the movement. then the unit is free to shoot and assault.
Someone shown me rules that after the LR moves, A unit can take a full turn. I could not find to add to my group of "rules that break the rules" collection( like the assaulting from a Rhino).
Why are LR's listed as "Assault"vehicles, If other vehicles can disembark and assault.

These questions are clearly answered in the rulebook

If a unit disembarks from a transport before the transport moves, the unit may perform all its normal actions for the turn, but remember that disembarking is a kind of movement, so even if you move no further after getting out, you can't shoot heavy weapons.

If a unit disembarks from a (closed top, non-assault vehicle) transport AFTER it moves, they can shoot (or Run) after doing so, but may not move or assault.

If a unit disembarks from an open-topped transport, or an assault vehicle, AFTER it moves, they cannot move any further, but can shoot (or run) and assault (but can only Run AND assault if they have Fleet).

Unless it has the assualt vehicle rule, in which case the landraider can move, the unit disembark, shoot, assault.

As I read the replies. A SM vehicle, That Has not moved. The infantry can take all of it's turn: Move,shoot and Assault. I am not concerned with HW, disembarking is a move.
Is this only for Assault vehicles only? What about a rhino? If NOt moved can it's troops make a disembark and their turn(move,shoot,assault).
Sorry, as the rules go; I am dislexic and have a hard time with the rules as written.

For vehicles that have not moved, disembarking models can move, shoot and assault.

For vehicles that have moved, disembarking models can shoot, but can not move and can only assault if the vehicle is open-topped, or has a special rule (such as Assault Vehicle) that allows them to do so.
