Having checked my rulebook I can find no mention of anything which says I can't hold an objective with a pinned troop unit.

But I'm sure I have read, or seen this somewhere.

Am I hallucinating? Or was this 4th Ed?

TT

Answered your own question. Yes, you can hold an objective whilst GTG.

OK, thanks - but I'm wondering where this came from.

Was it a rule from a previous edition? Or has somebody just made this up?

Far as I know, someone just made it up. It wasn't in 4th, and I don't think it was in 3rd. Hard to remember that far back. There was at least one special scenario where a pinned unit would drop the objective (you could carry it around), but that's all I can think of.

Right, thanks for the clarification.
