If a transport is pinned. What can its unactivated contents do, for example a unit on advance or charge?

To make it easy let us say that there is plenty of room around the vehicles.

If there is enough place around the vehicule, unactivated transported units can disembark. In regard of their orders they can engage in CC the enemy.

Transport Rule says: "First Fire Orders preclude disembarking as units cannot move, and unless stated in the transporting unit description, units cannot fire from a transport.
Units may enter or leave a transport that is engaged in Close Combat as long as there is room around the transport for the units to move into. If a transport
is completely surrounded, embarked units cannot fight or get out (and do not get a Bail-Out roll, either)."

If you need to know this rule you are keeping your troops in their transports far too long.

I prefer to dump the troops in defensive positions on the first turn. I suck at armoured assaults. I prefer to pound the enemy and let the shock troops move up gradually under cover. Not so good in a three turn game...

Yea. But its a bit too easy. Try different armies and different approaches.

In my experience the defensive army has a better chance to win. Sad huh. I wanna Go WAAAH

Wow, I must really bring that average down somehow. I play too many campaigns and so when I get a one off game in I end up worrying about the troops instead of sending them in to get the points.

I found that the Eldar excel in the attack however. I had always used them defensively and got ripped apart by about turn three. However, nothing can hide from the Eldar when the Warlocks start flinging Eldritch Storms about. When you expose a unit you can shoot it up and move in to take what they were holding on the next turn. I don't even know what you could do to stop that one. Other than killing the Warlocks Obviously.

Good idea on how to use the warlock. Have to try it..

I don't even know what you could do to stop that one.

Don't you miss the old days when you used to be able to Mind Fry titans with a Librarian in a thunderhawk on the roll of a 4+ to hit, 4+ save for shields and a possable ?+ psychic save but not very common and then the damage table roll on the head location if he fluffed all his saves... sweet! I guess that's why it got stopped... Psychic powers from transports

In a Choas Nurgle/Slaanesh Army would the Keeper of Secrets be able to hitch a lift in a Plague Tower. If so he would still be able to use his Aura of Slaanesh to put the wammy on enemy units as he doesn't need LOS to fire it... we used to do this, again in the old days before the Chaos apartheid. I was normally faced with this but didn't mind.

Yea but its still nice!

You can try to put the psyker in a OTV. then it should work.. Woooah

Ive had an idea about putting Death Jesters in Venoms. The venom on charge means a 3+ holosave and the death jester on FF. Cool eyy? Havent tried it yet though. Guess they would be killed off...

Yeah, but watch your opponent doesn't get all shirty about it.  
I once used a unit of Warp Spiders to jump in and out of cover picking off stuff each attack while my Chaos player could do nothing. One turn of attack and he gets all upset 'cause he couldn't retaliate. So just watch you don't upset your players. Besides it may work once but you can be sure they'lll think up a way to make you suffer if you keep using the same tactics.

The suits in the tau army did that to me in the last game. Came out of cover and while standing in the treeline fired on the fly(-2tohit for me cause of snapfire and cover in woods) shot and then go back again. I went bananas.  

Next time I will use my hammer of justice against those pesky models

Ah yes, Mr Hitty Hammer. The great leveler of all things. 1+ to hit and -6TSM  

I've never faced the Tau before. What's that like?

Ooooh, that's a nasty trick.  I hope our Tau player doesn't read this!  He once had a bunch of suits bouncing between 2 buildings picking off my CSMs.  I dropped a Dreadclaw carrying Ogryns on them
