In Apoc unless yo take careful planning, reserves start to come in on the 2nd turn.
Drop pod assualt allows the drop pods to come in on the 1st turn.
Which takes precedance?

Whichever one you want, as it is Apocalypse.

Nice.
Is it really as simple as that?

Yup, pretty much, as are most of the other "How does this work in Apoc Questions."

If you play by the rules, half arrive on turn 1. If you have drop pods in a formation, they will all arrive together but they still count for the drop pod assault rule, so you have to plan accordingly.

It's Apocalypse - this sort of questions need be taken up among the people that will play.

Yes and no.

Apocalypse has set rules, just like regular 40K does. It also has the provision to modify those rules to suit the players... again, just like the regular 40K rules.

The only real difference is that because of the scale of Apocalypse, we tend to come across more situations where the normal rules don't quite fit or don't quite seem right...

So in this case, saying that you need to figure it out for yourself isn't because you're playing Apocalypse, it's simply because the rules don't quite cover the situation.



Which seems like a good time to remind players that answering a rules question with nothing more than 'It's Apocalypse, figure it out yourself' is essentially just spam. If you're not willing to actually consider the question, don't bother posting.
