He moved the rhinos 25 cm, the scouts got out and moved another 25 cm,
which
is legal, but shouldn't be. True, he did spend the movement to get out
of
the rhino, as per the rules, but then he made of move which is
supposed to
reflect the fact that the infiltrators where already there, not that
they
used a rhino in their turn and "flew" out of their transports.

letter of an order but not the spirit or intent. The +30 cm rule for
infiltrators is there to simulate scouts deployed ahead of the main
body (probably the night before). While loading up scouts and racing
forward may be technically legal, it does not follow the intent of the
game.
