The old thread was locked, i asked to unlock it, but was told to start a new one with the clarification from the ork FAQ.

Q: Do Stratagems used on a Transport affect units embarked
within that transport? For example, if I use More Dakka! on
a Battlewagon, do any units embarked inside benefit from it?
In addition, can you use Stratagems on units embarked within
a transport (e.g. can you use Showin’ Off on a Bad Moons
Infantry unit embarked within a Battlewagon)?
A: No to both.

It's almost like the rules said that all along or something.

Well Ill have to admit that I was wrong on this matter... though still doesnt say anything about dakkadakkadakka, tunk hunters or similar unit rules and whether they work or not inside a transport...

We only got this:

Clan Kulturs, Blood Axes: Taktiks
Change the second sentence of rules text to read:
‘In addition, units with this kultur can shoot or charge
(but not both) even if they Fell Back in the same turn
– if such a unit is embarked, it can only do so if the
Transport that Fell Back also has this kultur.’

That to me sounds more like a restriction than an addition, but it can be interpreted any way

That only talks about stratagems, not sure where you want to get at, as I am talking about the units own rules

So basically it in no way proves anyone being smart above right, as it doesn’t address the Dakka Dakka Dakka question in the previous thread at all. Got it.

Yes bit it does disprove the "Select a unit" includes those embarked on a transport theory.

The point was about a unit’s own rules working, notably Dakka Dakka Dakka, which is in no way addressed.

Actually the original thread's purpose was about targeting a unit in a vehicle with a stratagem - which has now been disallowed, across the board. I imagine this includes (if such stratagems exist) ones which select an enemy unit to gain reroll against or what have you.

But yes, the FAQ makes no clarification on the end result of the thread - which was basically that the rules weren't explicit enough to persuade either side of the argument otherwise on whether or not a units own rules will come into effect when it shoots out of a vehicle.

The original thread was locked due to the intensity of the argument, so I'll avoid voicing my views on the subject here!

On this topic, how about the standard command reroll strategem? Can it be used when shooting out of a transport?

I would assume yes since I think it targets the dice, not the unit.

Also i think the FAQ "blood axe passenger shooting while falling back" clarification implies that standard unit rules such as clan tactics and dakkaX3 would still work.

Yes it can.
