Hi all,
This is probably an old one, but bare with me.
Can individual combat squads roll individually for reserves?
My suspicion is not, as squads split into combat squads as they are 'deployed', while declaration of the status of units in reserve is is during deployment phase at the start of the game (different things - deployment phase and deployment of units). Therefore, you still have one squad at that point, not two. The unit, or as it were, the two combat squads, have not yet been deployed and thus the split hasn't occurred yet, thus only one reserves roll.
One implication of this would be that one combat squad couldn't start on the table with another in reserves.
Is the correct interpretation? If not, could people please direct me to the codex/BBB pages that would clarify this.
Cheers
