because ... ? Are you saying APL clarified this (specifically the language of 5.6) or are you giving a personal opinion as definitive?
Its one thing to say 'I think or submit that such and such is the case because of x, y, and z," it is another to say "such and such is the case." I find this lack of distinction the most frustrating thing about rule debates (and why I posted an alternative pov to my first post) and why I agree with Shad regarding citation, whether of rules or a "private communication" from APL.
I'm not saying, Alan, that you are wrong; I'm simply suggesting that the rules language is not unambiguous. If a loaded transport is to be counted the same as an unloaded transport for the purposes of stacking, why did Rule 5.6 not simply say: "once loaded, the transport and everything it carries is treated as a single entity for movement and combat purposes whilst still stacking as a transport?" Or words to that effect - to paraphrase Richard Rich.
