Hi Peter!
This brings up an interesting question.
When the transports are part of the same detachment as the troops, the
troops can unload during the same movement segment as the vehichles.
But what about a situation like this: The Goff Clan buys Skullhammas
for it's Boys and Nobs. Are the Superheavies independent detachments,
since they have thier own Nobs on board, whould Battlewagons be
independant?
We have ruled that because the Skullhammas are a seperate transport
detachment, that all the Boys (or Nobs) must unload in a seperate future
movement, after all the Shullhammas have moved. Unloaded Boys could
then unload from all the Skullhammas, and must maintain unit coherency.
Is this correct?
Thanks Peter!
