Where in the rules does it say that a transport that loads and then moves has the movement halved rounded down?

Its to do with the wording of the rulebook. When you load it states to reduce your movement by half. So for a transport with a move of 9 that would be to reduce it by 4.5, rounded up to 5. Leaving a speed of 4.

To unload it states to halve its speed value. So again for the same transport it would be to reduce its speed to 4.5, rounded up to 5.

:classic:

where does it state which way to round the faction of movement too.

Though it doesn't seem like much it could make a lot of difference to a player.

The rules state that you always round fractions up in section 5 of the rule book. The confusion with loading and unloading comes because the rules for each are worded differently.

And an inch could make the difference between being in range and out.:classic:

your wrong bogend, you half the speed to see how far he gets to move, so he rounds it up to 5 speed. He gets to move 5 inches.

Heres the link to an offical response. There is a difference in speed value between loading and unloading if your speed value is odd.

wow that is kind of stupid to do it that way, they should both be the same.
