i havent made my mind up entirely about this but not one of you has made mention of drop pod assault.. if i missed it scuse my blindness ( wolfshade pointed out drop pod assault on page one )
even if you had all of your drop pods in reserve drop pods assault half of them must be dropped on turn 1 this is codex not rulebook...sm codex page 69 is one example
based on this yes you could put all of your army in drop pods but half of it is coming out turn 1 no matter what
guess im not following the logic on how they can auto lose turn 1
and as long as i have played this game dex trumps rule book all day every day.. if the faq says something else then thats another issue read the faq on sm no mention of drop pod assault not still being valid
