Ok today I was playing my chaos army vs DA and his whole army was deep striking. Now he was using drop pod assault, death wing assault, and flyers. Dose it say any were in the rule book he has to start the game with unites on the table?

Nope.

Edit: (Fixed the OP, too.)

Well only 50% of your units can go into reserves, Ignoring things like Drop Pods that must Deep Strike, and Flyers that must start in reserve as well as any unit embarked upon said models.

So if he had all flyers and Drop pods then he can keep 100% of his units in reserve.

If not something must be deployed.

As DeathReaper said, Flyers, Drop Pods, and units in either of those don't count. But pretty much anything else does, so he would have had to deploy something.

Some DA players are confused about how DWA works and think it exempts them from the Reserve limit; there is a long ongoing thread here in YMDC.

As death reaper said some players believe that all dw can select dw assault and deploy nothing, others believe otherwise, to save you the trouble of going through that lengthy thread, no convincing argument has been made either way yet, so it's beat to agree before hand.

A good example of.this is that others iny local group believe that storm bolters are affected by the dakka banner, I disagree ( I'm a dw and rw player) so I explain before the game that this is not how I will play it

Is it necessary to call those with whom you disagree, "confused?"

It can't just be a disagreement?

every thing but one squad of dw assault terminators started as reserves in a vehicle.

Assuming there were 3 or less units that didn't start in a vehicle that must start in reserves that is legal.

Yeah thats all legal, if all his tac squads were in a pod and he had flyers thats fine too, 1 unit of dw termies is also fine, even if the 50% rule is applied

This sentence has me confused. One squad of Deathwing started on the table? Is that right? If so, as long as no more than 2 other units were in Reserve without being a Flyer, or embarked on a Flyer or Drop Pod, then it would be legal.

I meant no offense. In my opinion, the rule is pretty clear. We can resume discussion in the other thread, if you like.
