random thoughts...

If a loaded transport is on its last click before salvage and I push it to move its entire speed value, then when I give it the click of damage for pushing, salvage shows and the passenger "pops out" on to the battlefield and...

I just got 2-3 inches added to my tank drop range.

(real risky though)

Yup. Although tankdrop is lame anyway.

Max Steiner just wrote up a game were he pulled off this maneuver with a SC Crane. If I remember correctly, he jokingly called it an "emergency combat drop". It strikes me as a fun desperation move and will definitely make your opponent do a double take.

try this
transports on its last click before salvage, and in base with a tank on the outside

push to pick up tank

now you have loaded and unloaded the tank in the same turn for one action, and can fire imeadiatly


I think tank drop is not realistic, but niether are order tokens and pushing

I would rather mechs get the same power that tanks and VTOLs enjoy- move shoot

you can fire if the unit don't fire before

because in the rules i thin they said you can't give a unit 2 order in a turn

Yeah, you can definitely pull of some interesting surprises if you know how to manipulate the forced disembark. Any VTOL transport can really abuse this if they want to, although it really isn't worth sucking needless clicks and giving your opponent twice the point cost in victory points. If anything, save it for something like a SW Lamprey where you want to be taking damage anyways.

You can only give the same unit 1 action per turn. So you cannot fire, push to load (get a salvage, and disembark order to clear tokens) to fire again. Against the rules, but it would be unloaded w/ no order tokens on it.
