Thanks again,
but somehow you alway manage to leave me in doubt.

Nah, you can have 6 units in a Slavebringer and it would be legitimate. It must be a single formation though since the Slavebringer is originally assigned to one formation, despite being an independent transport. Mandrakes are in addition to the 8 transport slots as per the unit description.
I understand that it's independent, I understand that you can have less than 8 units transported, I understand it's independent.
But you do not make clear what restrictions are imposed on the formation that it is bought with.
This could be
None - as only the formation really transported is restricted.
The formation must fit into the Slavebringer, even so it may never ever been transported by it.
The other possibilities are ruled out already.

While the post above is IMO unnecessarily complicating the transport rule, it is logically sound. If you are doing this for a programming purpose, I can understand why you had to break it down as such.
I understand that it's not pretty, but it's something that doesn't leave much room to argue.
While the original rule is more like a general guideline
Ok the last version is:
You can choose to have no transport at all.
If you choose to have transport, it must consist of
a single Slavebringer or
a combination of Barges and/or Raiders.
If you choose a single Slavebringer.
all units in the formation must fit onboard.
If you choose a combination of Raiders and/or Barges, you must choose a combination that
a) ensures that all infantry units with a speed below 30cm will be transported.

Have a nice weekend
