(Answered) VTOL Infantry
« on: 31 May 2023, 11:17:05 »
A few questions...

First off, VTOL (v) Infantry do exist, but they are not listed on the Unit Movement Table on p.35 of AS:CE. I'll post that in the errata thread in a minute.

The (v) movement type is prohibited from entering woods. Can I assume that (v) infantry cannot fly into woods, but are capable of entering wood with standard foot (f) movement, even though that isn't addressed in the rules?

Also for the purposes of transport, can (v) infantry also dismount from airborne units like jump (j) infantry, or do they have to dismount like standard (f) infantry, or are they intended to have their own set of rules.

"even though that isn't addressed in the rules"

Not legally.  VTOL infantry don't have a f movement listed, so they don't have a foot movement option.

VTOL infantry cannot dismount like jump infantry.
