Reserves

As of late, my friends and I have had a friendly disagreement on how rolling for reserves is done. As it is written in the book, it says: "At the start of the movement phase...a player must roll a dice for each of their units in reserve...Once all of the units have been rolled for, the player picks any one of the units arriving and deploys it."

Now, I take this as follows: Roll for unit A. See if it arrives. Move to unit B, and so on. Say unit A shows but B doesn't, deploy it.

My friends have interpreted it as this: Roll for all units in reserve at once, and then pick which ones arrive. I.e. I have five units in reserve, Units A-E. I roll for them all together, and get three rolls that are able to enter, and I decide I really need units A, C and E, so I choose those as the arriving units and deploy them.

Personally, I feel that their method is incorrect, as the book clearly states "roll for each unit" That tells me you nominate a unit to roll for and see if it arrives and continue for all units in reserves. What're your thoughts?

You are correct. As you have stated, it flat out reads: roll for each, then deploy the units that get to. It does not read: roll the number of units you have, then pick who gets to come out.

You are correct, your friends are incorrect. You even have the quote correct to prove your point.

Thanks, guys. I was confident that I was correct, and your word, Jwolf, will be as good as gold. Thanks again!
