Infantry and Trailer stacking limits are both on page 57 of Total War.
Mechanized Battle Armor rules start on page 226 of Total War.

In the stacking rules, it treats most tractor/trailer combos as a single unit. This makes me wonder if an omni-tractor and an omni-trailer can have 2 separate mechanized battle armor squads attached, one to each? I would think so, but would like confirmation.

Stacking (p. 57)
Under “Infantry”, last sentence

This includes infantry using VTOL or underwater movement, though such infantry cannot dismount if it will violate the stacking limit.
Change to:
This includes infantry using VTOL or underwater movement. Infantry dismounts into an adjacent hex of its controller’s choice if dismounting in the same hex as the carrier would violate the stacking limit.

Mechanized Battle Armor (p. 227)
After “MP Reduction” insert the following new paragraph:

Omni-Trailers: Each tractor and trailer is a separate vehicle for the purposes of externally carrying battle armor. A trailer hitch in use on the Rear of the tractor or trailer reduces the ability of that tractor or trailer to carry battle armor squads by two suits, from the maximum of six suits.


This should clear things up, I hope.
