yep! the only rule here is that all the elements from each platoon
must deploy at the same time.
so for example, you could deploy say 'Squad A' normally at the start of the game, and then deep strike 'Squad B' & 'Commmand squad' using the normal rules for reserves.
what you cannot do is say on turn 2 deep strike the command squad, but wait until say turn 4 to deep strike the other infantry 'Squad B'!
[/quote]Also, if I were to just deep strike the entire platoon, do you deep strke them all in the same turn or 1 squad per turn?
Any help is apprieciated!!![/quote]
no, as a platoon is a single FOC choice, all elements must be deployed at the same time, even when using alternate deployment modes!
so if you roll a successfull reserves roll on turn 3, then any and all elements of the platoon must deep strike at that time! (sorry, no holding onto seperate units!)
basically, when playing drop troops, a set of improved coms is mandetory to ensure your lawn darts come in when it's most benificial to your plan/s!
cheers!
