rodgambit Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Is it possible to combat squad them while in reserve? The idea being in a kill points game you drop the full 10 man unit down. For an objective game drop down 5 in the pod with double melta for tank popping and either start the other 5 on the table or bring them in from reserve on your table edge to grab a rear objective. Is this allowed? Thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201881-combat-squadding-a-drop-pod-assault-unit/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf lord 626 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 that is 100% legal since you must chose to combat squad before the game starts and once you do the two units act completely independently of each other Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201881-combat-squadding-a-drop-pod-assault-unit/#findComment-2405046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentL Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 You can combat squad while they are in reserve. But remember its separate reserve roles. My question on combat squads... if you have 9 characters + a IC in a Drop pod, and the pod lands can you combat squad 5 in on CS and 4+IC in the other??

Busterboy Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 @Rodgambit Units can only combat squad when they are deployed. So you can’t have half on the board and half in the pod. They can only combat squad when the unit disembarks the pod because the combat squad rule says you can. @TrentL You can only combat squads listed under the combat squad rule that equal ten men. As in you need the tactical squad to be a 10 man squad in order to combat squad them and since an IC is not a tactical marine a nine man tactical squad plus a IC could not combat squad.

DynamicType Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Busterboy is right. You can either deploy them and combat squad them as you put them on the table before Turn 1 or you can put them all in a pod and combat squad them the turn the pod arrives.

Stupid BA droppod limit of 10, not 12 like others. They gotta handcuff our awesomeness somehow. Can you imagine the hurt we'd put on people with a 10-man anything + 2 SPs and then Combat Squadding them!?!

They did that to us Wolves, too. :P Ragnar, Arjac, Logan and nine Wolf Guard would have been pretty fearsome in and of itself. The limit, 12, was originally ruled a typo, if I remember correctly. Same with the Land Raiders. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201881-combat-squadding-a-drop-pod-assault-unit/#findComment-2405914 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(anyway, gw had to include a few reasons for people to not do ba, otherwise our codex would have shadowed this normal sm codex in everyway. those few things like thunderfire cannon, land speeder storm and drop caps give codex sm its seperate strengths. i still prefer ba dex though! :)) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/201881-combat-squadding-a-drop-pod-assault-unit/#findComment-2406185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
