    I would disagree with tank shock and ramshackle needed those extra rules because if they were not in there the unit would be off the table and destroyed so they have specific protection from such an action

    OK but what leads you to that? The problem we have is that nothing says that a unit is destroyed when it leaves the table.

    but nothing says it can't leave the table. so again we are left at what happens when something leaves the table which i think is the crux of the thing

    not that it probably matters but fluff wise the things are suppossed to be dangerous

    Yep for sure. The only thing we can go off is what happens in other situations where a unit could potentially move off the table and in those situations the problem is resolved by stopping at or near the board edge.

    yeah, every situation has the board be 'impassible' except for Flyers and Fall Back moves.

    Yeah, it is dangerous. Have you used the Displacer Field... sometimes you end up in the middle of your opponent's army...

    I always liked the idea of rolling on the mishap chart

    I think he meant that all battles in the future are fought atop tall, perfectly rectangular mesas that have cliffs like a million feet tall, so if you fall off the edge you die.

    Wouldn't the invul kick in when you hit the bottom and displace you yet again ?

    actually asked the guys who made the call at our shop, for wha tis is worth how they came to a conclution was pg 80 and passengers in wrecked results it says that if a unit cann't be placed it is removed as a casualty. much like disembarking from a wreck in terrain with on vehicle exit if you roll snakeeyes not everybody gets out some are destroyed. is this was the only rulebook reference they could find to not being able to place a model they ruled it destroyed
