Quick question that is frustrating my small group.

Reinforcements in general, deep strike in particular, are you able to bring units in at the end of turn 1 movement phase, or do you have to wait 'til turn 2?

The rules are vague, but we first interpreted the core rules as "turn 1 is fine". Today, the consensus was that the Leviathan pack says, "nope, wait 'til turn 2". I don't have the Leviathan cards etc. myself. Friend has them.

But... This is bugging us as a group.

What say you? Thanks in advance!

It depends on the mission, usually. Generally most Reinforcements can not arrive turn one.

Ahhh, okay.

I'll pass that on. Thanks.

The Core Rules do not apply a battle round restriction on general reserves (ie, Deep Strike), only on Strategic Reserves. If you play the single mission included with the Core Rules, Deep Strike units can arrive on Turn 1.

However, specific missions or whole battle packs (ie, Leviathan) may have restrictions. Leviathan prohibits reserves arriving on Turn 1, regardless of source (Drop Pods, however, can still do so as they ignore mission rules).

Okay, thanks.

Leivathan mission back would preclude rapid ingress on the first turn as well correct?

Yes
