And again, even if we accept "deployed normally" it still does not allow you to have some of the units in reserve and some deployed. Because you are breakING the rule, and nothing says you may do so.

Incorrect. When dealing with Flyers and Drop Pods, it is perfectly normal to have some units in Reserves and some units deployed. You have not provided any evidence otherwise and even agreed on that point.

Impasse. the first sentence, to have an effect, must set all units to the same "status" - every unit is either deployed, or every unit is placed in reserves. No exceptions.

No point of time referenced means that the same status does not indicate at the same time. Indeed, the mere fact that we are to treat it "as normal" would definitely separate it out "as normal.

A flyer in Reserves and the rest deployed does not satisfy this first restriction of "all units", and this breaks a rule. Later on you may comply, but you still break this rule at deployment. And without permision to do so, you cannot proceed.

It satisfies "deployed as normal" if we are looking over the course of the game. Where does it state that this is "at deployment"? Where does this rule state any timeframe at all?

Chrisatoph - so the rule has no function. None.

It has a function as I explained and which you have not properly countered with any rule from the rule in question or the rulebook in general. You are relying on Assumptions and calling them Written.

I think this has gone around in circles quite enough, by this point.
