I have a quick question. It's possible I could find the answer within a thread on this page, but as I'm just starting a game (and time is of the essence), I'd rather not search.

Question:

Do units with the spotter ability retain this ability while aboard a transport?

For example:

The game begins with a Red Army Forward Observer (RFAO) aboard a KV-1. If the RAFO is aboard the KV-1 within four hexes of an enemy unit(s), can the RAFO use its spotter ability to supplement the attacks of friendly aircraft and the 82mm PM-37 Mortar?

I know you folks are busy, and it's kinda late at night, but a quick response would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yes. Transported units cannot fire or move, but they retain any special abilities (so commanders can still yell at their men, spotters still spot, etc)

Thanks! That's what we thought. Just wanted to make sure.
