Magna grapple and flyers

I disagree.
People only take responsibility for themselves when pressured to do so.

The real question you should be asking:

can a unit being tank shocked by the flyer that is being dragged perform a 'Death or Glory' attempt.
I would say no, because the automatic hits cannot be performed against flyers unless explicitly stated by the main rulebook (or codex rules). I am defaulting to the 'automatic hits' vs flyers FAQ, which states that they cannot hit flyers.

Main Rule Book, Page 85 TANKS Tanks can use their mass as a weapon, driving right into and through densely packed enemies. This often throws the opposing battle line into disarray, as having some monstrous metal behemoth coming straight at you is unnerving for anybody. TANK SHOCK When moving a Tank the player can declare that it is going to attempt to Tank Shock instead of moving normally.

Well, of course you do That's why I bothered to mention it.

There is an oxfam advert that runs which says:

Give a man a fish and he can feed himself for a day. Give a man the means to catch his own fish and he can feed himself and his family for a lifetime

I think this can be adapted for the wargames community:

Give a gamer an answer and it solves his one question. Give the gamer the means to read the rules and he can answer every question for himself and his family for a lifetime

You are wrong.
The Magna Grapple says the dragged vehicle performs a tank shock if it hits an unengaged infantry unit.

Now, I think I recall that you won't tank shock through your own unit, which would negate this entire argument.

Again, I ask, what was the point of this thread?

Better:
"Give a man a fish and he can feed himself for a day. Take a mans fish and say "You'd be dead if you didn't have this" and he'll find a way to find another fish for you to take the following day."

Worse:
"Make a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Light a man on fire and he'll be warm the rest of his life."

I like that one.

but, unless he's a ninja.
