Spore Question

[Lanesend]

But Interceptor can also be used on a unit coming out of a spore, right?
I thought that was also based on the fact that they DSed.

Intercepter can be used on any unit in from reserves.

P.36
"deep striking units may not move any further, other than to disembark from a deep striking Transport vehicle"

So if you are in a deep striking transport, you are apparently a deep striking unit.

Once again I LOVE that this is moot when you have MTC.

yeah that's the closest thing i could find to nailing a reference down.

So if you are in a deep striking transport, you are apparently a deep striking unit.

You are a unit that arrived (past tense) by deep strike while embarked. You are no longer in the process of deep striking when you disembark from the transport. You count as a unit that deep striked on to the field meaning you cannot move further or assault. But the disembark is a separate move from the deep strike and when disembarking you do not treat terrain as dangerous and you do not trigger warp quakes.

Again, this is a point that went round and round in a previous thread. There is a good argument to be made for working that way, but I think that argument is based on a misreading of the rules.

that's really weak. i'd certainly look cross-eyed at anyone actually trying to play it that way.
