Transport (x)
| [Content from Rule Book page 38.] |
Transport units can carry infantry units, giving them more mobility on the battlefield. The 'x' designates just how many units of infantry a Transport unit can carry, so if the notes for a vehicle say Transport (2) [then] it can carry two units of infantry. Mounting or dismounting a Transport unit costs 5cm of both the Transport unit and the infantry unit(s) movement for a turn. It is possible for infantry to mount up, be transported to a new location and then dismount at a cost of 10cm movement to both the infantry and the transport.
Note that a Transport unit does not gain the special abilities of infantry which it is transporting. For example a Transport [unit that is] carrying a Hero [unit] does not gain a Save or double its Assault value.
