Dismounting Motorcycle Troops in Assault

[Blackcloud6]

May a disrupted French DRG motorcycle unit in an wooded assault hex dismount and become a ESC unit?

I would say no they cannot do this as there are no provision in the Series Rules nor the FoF rules to do so.

Ever since MTC troops came into being in the game (in FoF?), I've always assumed that unit dismounts for combat and their MCs are nearby and the get back on them when they move.  i figured our cardboard platoon leader and Sergeants are handling how this is done within the timeframe of the turn and circumstance and it is not something I, as the battalion/regiment commander etc., need to worry about.  And also, a lot of rules, extra counters etc. are thus not needed for these edge-case moments.  Keep it simple...
