Transport Question ?

[Rama]

Can a transport carry multiple squads and characters as long as within capacity limits?

Also when does a SM squad decide to go combat squad while deploying in transport ?


Thanks for ur help

Combat squads for most transports are at the start of the game. Drop pods, you can choose to combat squad when it arrives.
Transports can carry 1 unit up to it's capacity unless specified otherwise. A unit may include attached ICs.

No. ONE unit per transport. This is the rule. You can carry one unit plus multiple Independent Characters (ICs) as long as they will fit though (because ICs join the unit and become part of it while joined).
Combat squadding is done during deployment. TWO combat squads CANNOT use the same transport, as after CS, they become TWO units for the duration of the game.
If you decide to CS, ONE combat squad may use the transport (even if it could fit both) plus any attached ICs that would also fit.
