Did not want to reopen the whole Doom of Malan'tai can of worms would just thought that my fellow forumers would like to see this...

My .02, this rules was thought out as the tyranid player says, so it would affect any unit, then they playtested the thing and added the non-vehicle clause since vehicle crew has no Ld, the transported units are also probably not effected to keep the rules simple, a development choice that contradicts the fluff in order to keep the game linear.

A better wording would have taken much more lines to clarify, and there's also the chance for intentional ambiguity for people who prefer RAI to RAW.

My .2 on the whole issue, is personally I don't feel that it should affect embarked units. However, if a compromise is needed then it will affect em but the units get a 4+ cover save. That way both sides, while not completely happy, are catered to in some form and keep the game moving.

After all, it is just that - a game to pass the time and have a bit of fun.
