http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/15.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net IG. I take a platoon with 4 infantry squads, platoon command, two heavy weapon squads, and then I take a command squad for the HQ. NOT optimized, this purely to help illustrate my question. This would allow me to keep 8 units in reserve for reserve/deep strike tom-foolery, as is common knowledge. Now my question is, what if I blob the infantry squads? Does it go down to 5 units allowed to go into reserve, or does it stay at 8?

Question 2. Do Independent characters count towards the total reserve numbers even if they are attached to another squad. Example, does a squad of flesh hounds with attached herald count as one or two units held in reserves? Does the same apply to units on the board? I have a feeling how this one plays, I just thought Id ask to be sure.

"While an Independent Character is part of a unit, he counts as part of the unit for all rules purposes, though he still follows the rules for characters."

Counts as a single unit? Or still two units?

Any other opinions on blob squads?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561987/6227874.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561987/6227874.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561987/6227878.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561987/6227878.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561987/6227888.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/561987/6227888.page GMT
