Can you please help me clarify these questions with 100% accuracy.

If a transport DOES NOT move, can the unit assault after disembarking the transport? I know that if it moves, the unit disembarking can't assault, but need clarification on the vehicle not moving.

If a transport is wrecked or destroyed in the enemy turn, does that mean that unit can't assault during the next turn?


Thanks

The rules on disembarking are very clear on that matter, give them a re-read.

This isn't helpful. I have re-read them, but want to make sure I get everything right. There appear to be some critical changes from 5th.

It should be, the rules on disembarking then assaulting are really clear.

If the transport is not a). Open-Topped or b). have the Assult Vehicle rule you may NOT assult after disembarking even if the transport was stationary in the movement phase.

There is no distinction between whether the vehicle moved or not any more when disembarking (p79, 'Disembarkation Restrictions'). Note that Assault Vehicles (p33), including open-topped vehicles (p82), are exempt from this rule.

You are not adding value here. My question should be even more clear, and by golley we are in a rules clarification forum! Who would have thought
that somebody might post a rules question they are unclear on?

I don't need a forum wiseas s telling me to go read the book.

The rules clarification forum is for unclear rules.

The BRB says explicitly if you can assault or not after disembarking.

The rules of the forum dictate that we can not give out rules ad nauseam GW frowns on that, and we do not want to get the mods in trouble with them.

Oh bull$hit. This is a rules clarification, I need to make sure I get it right. GW has better things to do than frown at such things.

Actually ymdc is for interpretation , the rules are pretty obvious as Deathreaper stated.

To be fair, DR's response didn't need to be that cryptic. It's a new edition, not everyone will have picked up the subtle changes in the rules yet; this is why I phrased my last post as I did. Hopefully that was helpful.

And yes, it is a subtle change (with huge consequences). It's the sort of thing that you notice, but think you might have missed something. I think it's totally fine to ask that kind of question here - it's not like he's asking us how disembarkation works; he's just asking if he's missed something. Which he hasn't, because moving a transport or not before disembarking makes no difference. That's all that needed to be said, and it would have answered his question.

Thanks Cheexsta. That's all I needed, a simple answer, not a vasectomy.

I assume that if my opponent blows up my transport during HIS turn, I can't assault during MY following turn?

I am leaning towards MSU lists being dead in 6th. They are way too vulnerable, especially with Overwatch added on top of these nerfs.
