transported 1 step unit - crawford - 01-03-2025
Getting back into PG after years (decades) away.
I have a single stepped unit transported by a full strength APC which takes one hit. Is the single step unit eliminated or not?
Where is the answer located in the rules?
Thanks!

Short answer, the unit is eliminated. APC's have only one step, thus if the APC loses a step, the unit it is carrying is eliminated.
The rule reference is 5.65:
If a transport unit is fired on, everything it is transporting suffers the same fate as the transport. If a transport must make a morale check due to enemy fire, make one roll for the transport only, adding the morale bonus of any one leader it is carrying or in its hex or an adjacent hex. If the transport becomes disrupted or demoralized or is eliminated, so does everything it's transporting.

thanks, i don't know what I was thinking. Should have been obvious.

We've all missed things like this in the 4th edition rule book that needs more (and better illustrated) examples, revised organization and clearer writing. I have to use the Beer & Jolly Foils house rules for simpler and more realistic play.
