Defensive grenades and our Transports

Here is a really crazy (or prolly stoopid) question. Please don't flame me, just thinking outside the box on this one;


A troop unit that is equiped with Defensive Grenades (PGL) is mounted inside their Dedicated Transport, they are considered 1 unit (or are they not...) so therefore does the transport gain Stealth if being shot at from 8" away?

Unfortunately, as much as it would make sense (open topped transports). Defensive grenades only come into play when your unit is shot at or assaulted; units aboard transports cannot be shot at nor assaulted.

At least that's how I see it.

I think Mushkilla is correct, I would love to see it but considering a unit and vehicle are treated as seperate for purposes of shooting as well, I dont think it will work.

I agree. The transport must be equipped with defensive grenades, ( or disruption pods, as TAU does). But remember, your embarked units can overwatch if someone tries to assault the transport
