If something has fleet, can it assault on the turn it deepstrikes?
I remember hearing something about that in planetstrike or whatever..where things can assault after deepstriking?

No. You may not assault after deepstriking unless you have a special rule specifically saying you can.

In planetstrike you may, as there is a universal special rule for all units that can originally deep strike there.

Fleet only lets you assault after running in the shooting phase.

Not in normal 40k - no.

Fleet allows you to assault after Run, not DS.

In Planetstrike you can assault if you deepstrike, even if you dont have fleet, if memory serves.

The answer is No, as stated already. The reason WHY is because you have not one, but two rules applying here.

One rule says "You can assault after Running."
The other says "You cannot assault after a Deep Strike."

So, which solution breaks no rules?

If I assault, which rules am I breaking?

Fleet: Not Broken.
Deep Striking: Broken.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! WRONG!

If I do not assault, which rules am I breaking?
Fleet: Not Broken.
Deep Striking: Not Broken.

Therefore, the only way to not break any rules is to not assault.
