Can Terminators now use their Teleport Strike on the first battle round.

I’ve looked and it only says Strategic Reserves come on on battle round 2-3.

From my understanding Teleport Strike would be Reinforcements not Strat Reserves

If you're playing Matched Play, no they cannot. The exclusion of first turn reserves of any kind is part of the Matched Play ruleset. For Narrative or Open play, go to town.

Where does it say this?? I can't seem to find it.

Rule book page 282, final paragraph of point 10. Also replicated for Grand Tournament Play in CA GT 2020 on page 6.

It's also on page 334 (second paragraph) in case you're using the Crusade rules:

In these missions, Reinforcement units can never arrive on the battlefield in the first battle round (but Strategic Reserve units can).

Wait, so you can arrive Turn 1 in Open/Narrative, but Crusade is Narrative, and yet you can't in that.

What?

You have to check the mission if reinforcements can arrive T1. In open play they can. In narrative they can as well, except for crusade.
