Hammerfall Strike Force and Master Tactician

[Valkyrion]

Hammerfall Strike Force:
Models with the vehicle unit type.....must begin the battle in reserves

Alexis Polux Master Tactician Warlord Trait:
...may redeploy one friendly unit within the limitations of the mission being played. This may....bring a unit out of reserves.

Polux allows me to deploy a vehicle on the board, yes?

No. Essentially Polux let’s you change your mind/hedge your bets on what to put in reserve or not. If it was legal to deploy it in the first place, but you chose to stick it in reserve, Polux let’s you bring it back out again.

Hammerfall says vehicles must *begin* the game in reserve, so when the game begins, they must still be there. Polux doesn’t change the rules for what can be deployed in the first place.

Shame. He could do it back in 1.0

Bear in mind I’m not an expert, I just gave my opinion very confidently! 

But that’s certainly how I read it, with the Hammerfall restriction stating vehicles “must begin the battle in reserves”, I don’t see anything in Polux’s rules that would allow him to ignore that.

Sadly must concur. This probably prevents him from bringing other compulsory reserve units out, too, like Drop Pods and Flyers.
