Hi!

Actually in net epic bikes are under the designation of cavalry. Which means
they have their own movement restrictions. On the up-side they can shoot 360
degrees, but they can't use transports.

Units that disembark from flyers have the same fraction of movement left as
with any other unit.

Bikes are vehicles? So SM bikes have no armor save if shooted from
side or rear... never thought of it. I've always considered bikes and
cavalry in general an infantry upgrade. By the way... cavalry like
bikes (vehicles) and Rough Riders (clearly not vehicles) have the
same rulings? One thing is the fire arc, 360� for the riders and 180�
for bikes?

Tnx in advance ^^

P.S.: ...and for the second question? (Flyer transports, below) :P
