Question about transports

[alecug]

Hello everyone,

I am about to play the game for the first time.
I have read the manual and i have one concern about transports.
Suppose i take a transport, load 2 infantry in it, send it somewhere and offload
After offloading can i move the offloaded units in the same turn?
Because they haven’t technically moved by themselves and the rules don’t say anything about this.

Thanks

PS: What is DOW? I’ve been reading the forums and i see J1 DOW :)

No once they load and unload that is consider a move for your units.

Actually they do:
@rulebook:

Loading and Offloading:
…
Loading onto and/or offloading from a transport counts
as a land unit’s entire move; it can’t move before loading
or after offloading.
