Disembarking after moving more than 6"

Is there any way for passengers to disembark from one of our transports if it moves more than 6"?

I can't find anything in the rulebook, but I thought I'd ask. I guess it just seems odd that our supposedly fast/open-topped transports can't get our troops further than any other transport.

Nope there isn't.

All I can think is some sort booby trap type thing.
Not sure if they exist, (they used to), but a vehicle could move 12" enter terrain, be destroyed, passenger debus?

While they can't disembark after moving more than 6", it's worth pointing out that as our transports are all open-topped, we can charge after disembarking (something you can't normally do).

Actually you can using Emergency Disembarkation, it's just not reliable.

You need to put yourself into a situation where you force a difficult terrain test and get immobilized or wreck. If needed also pass a pinning test.

Then emergency disembark 3 inches. Then you can assault.

Just does not always work and can put you in a bad situation leaving your troops open to an assault themselves (and/or massive shooting)...

Actually you need to get immobilized while moving flat out, because becoming immobilized normally doesn't wreck a vehicle and doesn't force it's occupants to disembark.

A unit that disembarks from a wrecked transport always has to take a pinning test.

After an emergency disembarkation a unit cannot then perform any voluntary actions for the rest of the turn, but they can disembark 3" following normal disembarkation rules, which are effectively the same for us, because of our open topped transports.

If you use it with Ld 8 it will work in 12% of the cases, with Ld 9 it will work in 14% of the cases and with Ld 10 it will work in 15% of all cases. If you're desperate you can try it, but I wouldn't rely on it, especially, because you have to sacrifice your transport.

You are correct good sir!

Not worth the risk!

I thought due to the vehicle being a skimmer, if it becomes immobilized no matter the distance travelled or not travelled that it becomes a wreck automatically. Am I incorrect in thinking this?

Not to be annoying to you, but I rather teach people to fish instead of giving a fish. Why did you think this? Find the page in the rulebook where you saw this? That should always be the start when a question pops up.
To answer your question, you are incorrect. Page 83, Skimmers and Damage Results. So only after going flat out...
