Q: If a single Soldier is already mounted on a Heavy Transport unit (capacity 2), could a Hero be placed directly into the transport unit with it?
A: Yes.

Q: Can a Hero be placed into a hex already at the stacking limit?
A: Heroes can be over-stacked (by 1, as per the stacking rules) when they are placed.

Q: When you place a hero in the beginning of the movement phase is it allowed to move as well?
A: Yes, the initial placement of the hero doesn't count as movement so he can move as normal.

Q: Can a Hero be stopped by defensive fire? If not, is there even any reason to shoot at them for defensive fire?
A: No, they can’t be stopped by normal Defensive Fire. But if the Lethal Defensive Fire rule from the Expanded Rules is used, then there is a reason to use Defensive Fire against them. You could score enough successes to get two hits. Then they would be removed in the casualty phase.

Q: If a friendly Soldier is mounted on a transport, can a hero deploy into the same hex at the beginning of the movement phase?
A: Yes.

Close Assault 7

This unit has an attack value of 7 against Vehicles in its hex. This attack ignores cover.

Q: Can a Solder perform a Close Assault while loaded on a Vehicle with Fighting Platform?
A: Yes. Close Assault can be used without dismounting, if the transport has Fighting Platform.

Tally-Ho!

In your movement phase, friendly non-Artillery Soldiers that start their move adjacent to this unit get +1 speed.

Q: Could an Inspiring Lt. use his Tally Ho special ability to first move a soldier, then move itself with Tally Ho and then Tally Ho any soldiers adjacent to it after it has moved?
A: Yes. Unless the card states otherwise, a Commander's ability is always "on," both before and after the leader's move. He could also be the passenger in a Vehicle with the Transport SA and use his Tally Ho to inspire his fellow Soldiers forward.
