I know you cant assault when arriving from reserves, but as they start on the board are they allowed? Genestealers will become a tad more intimidating if they can

Infiltration rule specifically says you can't

Thank god for that. Sorry for the stupid question, but don't have BRB to hand.

Dakka is not a replacement for the rulebook

This being the case, one queries why so frequently such answers are given out as if like candy

On the one hand we're no replacement for referring to the rulebook, but on the other if you tell people that you're deemed somehow unhelpful or rude. Damned if you do; damned if you don't?

Note that there are (inevitably) exceptions.

There is a formation which does allow potentially allow genestealer units to assault on turn 1; it's part of the Ghosar Quintus Broodkin's Ambush The Unhallowed command benefit.
