Igorn my comment about units being transported by battle wagons being destroyed, if
the battle wagon is destroyed, I made another mistake, the unit being transported is
not destroyed.
Also it has been pointed out to me that Big Gunz and Pulsa Rockets are count as
infantry. So they can be carried by battle wagons or battlefortresses, therefore
they can provide support to fast offensives, just as shooty boyz can do in my
'Revised opinion on Orks Units & Tactics'.
