lol new fight different thread. Your base cant be within 1" of an enemy base(.)

There is no such rule. The only two rules that do exist, are
1) that distance is mesured from the hull for all vehicles and from the base for all non-vehicle units
2) units may not come within 1" during regular movement, it is allowed at other times

As for the comment above. I believe the model has to be placed first.

You may deepstrike on top of anything, as long as it's between the table edges. You might mishap though.

For the RAW side of the argument. Not to be interpreted as an insult for the thin skinned. lol. Have you all ever heard of the U.S. Constitution and the RAI in the form of the Judicial Branch?

You should read the YMDC rules:

You almost managed to violate all of them. If you are not looking for RAW, you should not ask whether a "cheesy" tactic works, at least not on this forum.

Game rules are not supposed to be interpreted, you only interpret when you have no other option, which results from bad writing. You don't have a differentiation of RAW and RAI in well-written game rules.
You don't interpret laws of physics by insisting on walking over the grand canion without a bridge, do you?
The constitution is supposed to be interpreted, as you can impossibly write rules for everything every single person in the US will ever do.

So as long as you can find an exact answer by simply following the rules, you are not supposed to interpret anything, no matter how stupid the result may be.
After you've done that, take the RAW and apply TMIR to it(which does include asking your opponent), and have a fun game.
