Can embarked passengers snap shot as overwatch when their transport is assaulted?

This came up in a practice game I did.

I would say no, since you are charging the transport, which is a different unit from the embarked passengers.

I believe there is a part of the rulebook under "transports" that specifically states embarked units can overwatch from a transport

You are assaulting the transport. Only assaulted units can overwatch. The unit in the transport is not being assault thus cannot over watch.

Yes they can. Page 80, first paragraph; "Transports and Assaults".
