If a transport is wrecked it states that the passengers immediately disembark in the ususal manner (p.80). but they must be within 3 inches instead of 6. Ok fine I get that. If you get out of a rhino by disembarking you can not charge. So as we all know you cant charge when your transport is wrecked.

Here is the part we are confused on.

If a transport explodes after the unit takes hits it states PLACE the models where the vehicle used to be (p.80). So technically your not disembarking so does this mean you may charge on the following turn if your rhino was exploded but not if your rhino was just wrecked?

To me the word PLACE you models is different than diembark. I feel this is more RAI as apposed to RAW. I allowed my opponent to charge after I meltad the rhino to death but I am not sure if this was legal.

Thanks

The next paragraph clarifies that the models have been placed are also considered disembarked:
Page 80, However, if a Transport is destroyed by a shooting attack,any unit that shot it that turn can, if allowed,charge the now disembarked passengers.

It's the same, GW uses disembark and place hand in hand in their FAQ's. Also it's noted that you can't in the above post

Placed and disembark are NOT the same. however i believe a faq exists that answers the question.
