Dismounting from a Recce vehicle after it makes an Escape Move

[Greg]

A friend of mine relayed to me that in a recent V3 tourney, a player was dismounting bazooka teams from transports of his Recce Platoon after the vehicle made an escape move, using that to get his teams around without having to wait for a die to move the vehicle.  I haven’t found anything in the V3 rulebook allowing or prohibiting it, but it seems like a cheesy move.  Anyone have any more in-depth info on this?

Would have been viable under the previous editions as a unit that makes an escape move ended as Down.  Now it is marked as Advance or Run depending on how far it escaped.

I’d be making sure that opponent was complying with the requirements of the escape –  out of sight, if that’s not possible, at least in cover, if that’s not possible, further away.  If it has a Run order after the escape, no-one can get off.

Thanks, Stuart.  I’ll be watching during the Millennium Con Bolt Action tournament at the end of October.
