RE: DS Unit Question

Yes, a unit may have different types of units in it. However, it is
often
not benificial to do so (as they still have to stay in unit intgrity
distance). 

In your example, it might be better to have the infantry be a seperate
unit
from the VTOLs. If they are a part of the same unit, the VTOLs would be
stuck within 3" of the infantry, and could not "react and go to where
they
were needed". If seperate units, they could move as you described,
except
that once outside, the infantry would move and fire seperatly from the
VTOLs.

All of this is IMHO, of course.
