I knew what it meant in previous editions, but now I'm flipping through the damned 7e RB and can't find it.

a. Can a SM army, just the one C.A.D., take 6 tactical squads and their rhinos?

b. For an ally, can you take two troops choices, but *also* have transports for them?

Examples:

aa. Ultras:
6 tac squads and 6 rhinos
their allies, 2 A.M. chimeras, each full of dorks

bb. Eldar / Dark E
with the D.E. as allies, 2 troops, like Kabs and Wyches. One has a venom the other a raider?

Cited page numbers?

Or is this all Codex beats RB, as (as far as I know) the transport entries all state that they don't take up a FoC spot, so 'yes' to all of the above?

Dedicated transports for CAD troops don't take up a troop slot but still gain the objectice secured rule.

Page 82, Dedicated Transports box. "Thhese Dedicated Transports do not use up a slot...."

Is that what you're looking for?

Cripes, Don. I think you have been finding or citing stuff for me, for years now. Often, very obvious rulings.

Thanks. If our paths ever cross (a GT someplace?) I am buying you a beer.

(Emphasis mine)

Fixed that for you

Allied Detachments can have up to three allied troop choices.

But the answer is yes, as don_mondo has cited.

Always glad to help. And also glad to drink beer.

No, allies get 2 troops. As it is written, so it will be.

Yeah, DR, I appreciate the input, but page 122 has the same FoC charts from 6e, showing 2 boxes for Allied troops, one for E, 1HQ, 1 FA & 1 HS.

Care to cite from where you get three?

There is a known issue with the digital release containing different Force Organization Chart images depending on the source, but the text was constant over all of them.

Yes, I was looking at my copy of the digital release and it has 3 boxes for troops, 3 for elites, 3 for fast attack and 3 for heavy.

Never even looked at the text that contradicts the picture in the book, because why would they be different...

Huh, so according to the digital, DE Allies could be:

An HQ, then Kabalites, wyches & kabalites, x3 venoms, 3 units of reavers, x3 Trublasters (and their venoms), *and* 3 ravagers? All that to go along with a normal FoC fulla eldar? Just points pending?

I love it that GW's rules are written by some archon cackling away in Commorragh. The strife, arguments and confusion at game tables and on the 'Net invigorating the soul-deprived pit fiend.
