Scenario: I have a Landa full of a mob of boyz and looking at the board, there is no big target I want to assault turn 1. However, there is ... say for example, a lone Tau Orca sitting in one of my corners with a couple of Tau and a few blast markers from the orks they just destroyed. Can I Air Assault this unit but tell the boyz to stay inside? If I do, does the number of boyz count when working out the result? This is probably stupid in most cases, but it would mean at the end of the turn I could fly off with the boyz to do the real assault on the next turn, yes?

I think this is late night crazy Ork strat brain working, but I appreciate the input!

you could indeed assault with the boyz inside and they would count towards unit size

In this senario, can the orks disembark paticipate in the engagement and when (if) they win use their consolidation move to embark in the flier?

Thanks!

Don't forget that any BMs and leaders / Inspiring also count towards the assault as they are all part of the "single" formation.

Yup! I'd try not to take too many shots while flying in for the assault.

I can't actually think of any inspiring Orks at the moment.

Thanks,

Joel
