Subject: Dark Angels 1500 vs Dark Eldar 1550 - 15th game of our Planetary Empires Campaign
I enjoyed the batrep and if you save time I do not mind the video section.
I do have a question though. I thought the DE had deployed outside of the vehicles so how did they get across the board so quickly? They can't flat out if passengers embarked that turn. Or so I thought, maybe they weren't as far apart as it looked...

Can you site the page that is on for us, we have looked it up several times and never found it, but you know how GW organizes rules, it could be anywhere.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Red I believe I found your point of confusion. page 78 under Embarking it says if the vehicle moved BEFORE passengers embark it may not move any more including going flat out. The Dark Eldar player embarked before vehicle movement and would be allowed to move as normal per the second to last section of that statement, it does not prohibit flat out if you get on before the vehicle moves.

Ah I think you may be right. Thank you for pointing this out. Though the semantics of that rule are utterly idiotic IMHO.
