Not too familiar with IG and their troop platoons,

but they are composed of a command squad and like an infantry squad as well in a single entry, so do you roll 1 dice for a reserve roll or 2?

thanks in advance.

since 1 platoon count as 1 troop choice,

I guess it makes sense the :

1 command squad and 2 troops come in together at same time

i think...

*edit smiley faces gone

That's not what im talking about. lol

An infantry platoon (A single troop choice) is composed of 2 infantry squads and 1 command platoon.

I want to know that if you roll for reserve in the second turn, do you roll for 1 dice for all 3 of them since they are just a single troops choice, or do you roll 3 dice. (for the command platoon, and 2 infantry squads)

Codex is pretty clear. You roll for the entire platoon together.

Thats what i said! ( well i guess i worded it bad lol )
altogether 1 dice .



no smiley face too!

But your reasoning is wrong, normally you roll individually for each unit, if this same selection of units was made in any other army from another codex you would have to roll seperately for each squad. The reason you roll as a single unit is because the Imperial guard codex has a special rule that says "Each Platoon ... is rolled for collectively when rolling for reserves."

Yes, a single die roll for all elements of the same platoon that are in Reserve, even if arriving by different methods, ie deep strike, outflank, etc has no bearing.
