Hello
At the start of my turn, Unit A is embarked in a transport vehicle/building, Unit B is in the open nearby.
Is it legal for unit A to disembark and then unit B to embark into the same vehicle, during the same movement phase?
BRB doesn't forbid it, but perhaps I missed something there?

Yes, the BRB allows this

Does that also mean I can disembark, move vehicle six inches then embark a different unit?

Yes, as the general rules allow for it.

There does not have to be a specific rule when the general rules construct the same scenario.

Thanks a lot.
I mused using stronghold assault Escape hatch fortification upgrades that allows you to set counter taht is entry point within 12", for example midfield, and use the fortification as launchpad for footslogging assault units. they can't assault that turn, but slingshoting a unit 12"+6"(disembark move)+d6"(run) towards the enemy sounds like fun.
with the clarification above, essentially 1 unit/turn can be thus launched.

You can go even further if you add levitation to the mix ...

Can you embark and disembark same turn with one unit.

Or did you mean over time Ratliker?

No, one unit cannot disembark and then embark in the same turn.

Hate to sound redundant, but for clarification I am going to ask while assuming the reverse is also not possible?

Yes the BRB tells us they use there movement phase to embark or disembark. so once a unit has embarked or disembarked there movement for the turn is over.

Vehicles chapter, Transports section, Embarking and Disembarking subsection 2nd sentence answers this question.

embarking or disembarking is a part of their movement.

I am not sure what "they use there movement phase to embark or disembark." means. That sentence does not make sense.

Models embark or disembark in the movement phase.

Not sure how that does not make sense

They use the entire phase to do one of the actions.

another way of saying the unit cannot move after disembarking or embarking on the transport.

I was referring to this part of your previous post " they use there movement phase to embark or disembark."

Models do not use the entire movement phase to do one of those actions, as they can move to the transport then embark upon it.

Disembark Unit A 6".
Move Transport 6"
Embark Unit B from up to 6" away.
Shoot with Transport
Shoot with Unit B from fire points.

Ummm, 2", not 6" for embarking.

right, but the unit can move 6 then, as long as the unit is within 2 inches of an access point, it can embark.

So as long as all models in the unit are withing 7.999999999999 inches of a access point they can move to within 2 inches then embark.

Ah yes you are very right just went to look at the wording of the entire section I was also wrong about disembarking they are placed in base contact with a entry point on the transport then may move so they are not more then 6" away
