Does Drop Pod Assault apply if you only have one drop pod? I just played against a space marines player with a single drop pod, which he deployed via Deep Strike. I'm not complaining - I beat him, after all! - but inquiring minds want to know.

Yes. It says "Half your drop pods, rounded up" and half rounding up is one

If you're asking if an army with a single Drop Pod must deep strike it first turn according to the Drop Pod Assault rule, then yes. You deep strike half (rounding up) of your Drop Pods on the first turn, and half of 1 is 0.5, which rounds up to 1.

This is why many armies with multiple pods use an odd number, as they get more the first turn.

Yeah, it says rounded up. Half of 1 is 0.5, 0.5 rounded up is 1 therefore..

Yes.

Yep, this is answered to death ^^

yeah it's coming in but at least it's only one...hopefully it's not sternguard with a libby and deathwind launcher. Ahhh all those damn combi flamers took out a whole damn 30 boy squad.

The interesting thing however is that is the only thing ever that is rounded up.

Not true.The Tyranid Harpy's Sonic Screech havles your opponent's Int when the Harpy is charging,rounding up.Add in Adrenals and strike before whatever you charge.
