Yes, but vehicles and other non-infantry models may contest as well. A vehicle will contest an objective until it is wrecked or exploded, for example. Even an immobilized enemy vehicle within 3" of an objective will prevent you from claiming it.



Ahh I gotcha, that explains everyone talking about focusing fire to make sure something is completely dead. Its not just a VP thing anymore. And why 'Lash' is so popular...

Lash is popular because it is a crutch that lets sloppy players get away with sloppy maneuvering. It is extremely weak against lists that are built with heavy-mechanization (IE: 5th edition) in mind.

So, Im guessing embarked scoring units can claim an objective if within the 3" radius?

Yes, very specifically measuring to the hull of the vehicle (page 90 of the rulebook).
