Do units that deploy already transported count as already having been activated?

Do units that deploy already transported count as already having been activated?

For instance, can i do the following?

Deploy Fireball with Grim Reapers already on board.  Because of Fireball's "Scout" ability, I move him 4 spaces.  On the next turn, I disembark the Grim Reapers, moving them up the field another 4 spaces.  Now it's the end of Round 1, and I already have a unit 8 spaces across the board (pretty much to the other end of the board in a 9x9 map.)

With a lucky roll from a command squad, you could win a "get your troops to the other side of the map" scenario in round 1.

Am I doing this correctly, or am I missing something?  I just got the heavy walkers and haven't gotten a chance to play them yet.

Yeah, that seems to be about right.

Thanks.  That seems a bit ridiculous.  It makes the first Cerberus scenario an easy win for the Allies, as you can get a Move 2 unit up to the the ammo crate on the first turn without even using a command squad.  The Axis can't even get into the building on Round 1.

They haven't been doing a good job on considering how new units interact with established scenarios.  The Soviets are guaranteed a win in several scenarios with the new rules just released without even needing a command squad.
