I was playing a game earlier this week and we had an issue come up. It boiled down to me not thinking vehicles could holding objectives and my mate objecting.
In the planet strike, the book says any model can hold an objective if it is in base to base with it regardless of the models unit type. So....Can vehicles (incuding empty troop transports) hold objectives in games of planet strike?

My argument was that they dont have bases, therefore cant be in base to base with an objective. I always took it that it meant all non-vehicle (not just troops, so Elites, HQ ect).
My friend was arguing that Tank, Skimmer ect are all still unit types and therefore should be able to hold objectives.

what do you think?

They can hold objectives: you are told what to do when something doesnt have a base
