Is an IC able to Look Out Sir to the Chariot he is embarked on while engaged in CC?

The look out sir rule (pg 16) doesnt permit this, as the rule can only be used against wounds, and a chariot does not take wounds.

I am not sure that answers my question.

The IC in question would be meeting the criteria for LoS:
1) he would be having a Wound allocated to him.
2) there is another model from his unit within 6"

He would then make his check, pass it, and allocate the Wound to the Chariot. What happens then is what I am unsure of. I don't see anything in the LoS rule that states what happens to a Wound that is successfully LoS-ed but that cannot be applied.

Step 2 is where this fails. If they were the same unit, the Chariot would have to embark in itself.

Neronoxx is saying that the Chariot is a vehicle, and you can't allocate a Wound to a vehicle (vehicles get hit then penetrated, not wounded).

That the recipient doesn't take wounds doesn't preclude them being shuffled to it via Look Out Sir!

All the other reasons you can't shuffle a wound to a vehicle preclude that, like never being in the same unit as a vehicle.

which doiesnt matter, as the vehicle is not in the same unit as the IC

Why people think embarked units suddenly are the same unit as the vehicle I am not sure. No rule ever says this, and they even FAQd it to tell you this was not true
