How to relocate a Tidewall Gunrig?

[RicWalker]

The description on the unit says it can be replaced by transports.
But for the life of me i cant figure it out how. there is no interaction with the devilfish and considering how early you can get it, there has to be a way.
Or is the unitdescription lying and you cant relocate one in the game?

The description is as follow : "Heavily armed fortification that can be moved by transporting troops."

Note that it's not "troop transport" but "TRANSPORTING troops".

i.e : You need to put units in the tidewall (like a fire warriors), and it will be able to move.

(If you don't play the english version, and especially if you play with the french localization : AH AH AH AH AH AH. The french localization is bad)

A cool trick is to put a builder unit inside the Gunrig. It keeps him safe and he can hop out and heal the gun rig or any other Tau unit while the gunrig fires away. Then just hop back in when its time to move.

Also works great for keeping your Fireblade Cadre alive. Units inside the gun rig get experience so you'll quickly and safely get to level 6 and get the massive +6 loyalty to every city.
