Well, would this make transports useless ? Or won´t it change a thing ? Or would that be just right ?

Goes too far. instead, just restrict the kinds of actions you can give a disembarked unit.

Giving a disembarked unit a token would be my preferred solution.

The other possibility is to state that a disembarked unit can only make a move order.

Please excuse me for my ignorance, but do APCs really carry infantry all that far, or was their primary use the fact that they could do so and yet still let pieces attack directly after?

Actually, this is more concerning Tank-Drop. Sure, Infantry would take a hit, but this kills Tank-Drop.

Only vehicles should be given a token when unloaded (represent the start up/unload of the vehicle). The unit can then push to make a move or shoot (or both-move and shoot).

Infantry shouldn't get an order token because they train to unload from an APC quickly and be ready for battle.

I don't think it nerfs tank drop totally, it just gives the tank a click of damage for the push, thereby limiting the number of drops before the stats degrade too much.

I heartily agree with Link_76, that is the best answer I've heard. It allows for paratroopers (albeit w/ jump jets) as well.

A house rule we have played with during Unrestricted events reads:


Ø Transports may transport units utilizing the following rules: Unloaded vehicles (except those with “towed” in their name) emerge from the transport with one token and then may perform an action. Any action they perform will result in a second token and a “push”. Infantry units and vehicles with “towed” in their name do not suffer this penalty.

Ø Transports may not load any vehicle with a token or tokens on it except for those with “Towed” in their name.

I'd also have to say only vehicles w/o "Towed" in their name should get a token. Towed units would remin playable, yet this would prevent tankdrops.

I'd have to agree with Terman8er 's take on it. Tokening infantry when they disembark would make them more useles than they are now (save for the ones that have a speed mode other than foot).

What ever drop I dont think is that much of a problem, you can see it coming an react to it. I voted no token.

only vehicles should get a token

Do we really need more rules to placate those with less skill?

[Please do not misinterpret my message (propaganda) as an insult but more as a blunt response to the never-ending tirade of rules changes.]

No tokens for disembarking vehicles. Fixing pieces in the game is fine, but when we begin to tinker with the mechanics of the game, we (or should I say they) go too far.

Just base the transport.

Got Tactics?

give the transport a movement penalty, for instance: The transport unit's speed value is half rounded up if a vehicle is the passenger of the transport. Give disembarking vehicles an order token when disembarking.

Can we see an addition to the poll? I'd like to put "Only vehicles receive an order token when they disembark, but infantry do not" option.
