Hows everyone doing? Im still a bit new to warhammer 40k and I just needed to ask two quick questions about reserves.
1st question: Do I have to put units in reserve?
2nd question: Are reserves used as reinforcements?
If there's any other info I would need about reserves in order to play a good/proper game would be great. thanks for reading

Well this should be in YMDC not proposed rules, but...

1. No. Some units may require it (Drop Pods. Flyers) but you don't have to unless you take a unit that makes you.
2. Basically. They're just a unit that shows up later. Many units have a unique deployment to compensate for not being in the game since turn 1, while other units you may want to just hide from firepower.

Eh, sorry I was hoping I was putting this in the right spot. I just saw 40k rules and thought I was the alright place to put a question. Thanks for the response
