I've a game or two of 40k to prep for with the new rules. Apparently I have 3 DP to choose from when picking detachments. If I pick 3 1DP detachments, does my entire army get the bonus from all 3, or do I have to pick which one each unit has?

I think I'm carrying over old rules in my head but I'm just struggling to get it! I like the idea of More Dakka + green tide to have 6++ boys with assault shootas running all over the place, but I don't know if each unit will have to pick one!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829240.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829240.page GMT Please can someone explain 11th ed. detachments to me? There's no such concept as putting units into a detachment like the old days.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829241.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829241.page GMT Please can someone explain 11th ed. detachments to me?
But unless the rules add restrictions, they go on everybody.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829252.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829252.page GMT Please can someone explain 11th ed. detachments to me?
Are stratagems still linked to detachment, and if I have 2 detachments, do I get access to both? Or are they now linked to the army's objective?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829254.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829254.page GMT Please can someone explain 11th ed. detachments to me?
If the strat’s use conditions are met, both with timing and keywords, fire it off.

Again, just keep an eye on the keywords. Some detachments have their strats focused to only apply to certain units. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829261.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829261.page GMT Please can someone explain 11th ed. detachments to me? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829338.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829338.page GMT Please can someone explain 11th ed. detachments to me?

You can just pick one of the options you have from the detachments you've chosen.
So lets say you have two detachments, which are Purge the Foe and Priority Assets. You can pick one of those as your disposition.

I think for Tournaments they are saying you will have to decide with your list beforehand - so you can't swap around during - but can't say I've been in one.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829343.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829343.page GMT Please can someone explain 11th ed. detachments to me?
Then the combination of your disposition and your opponent's creates a mission.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829344.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829344.page GMT Please can someone explain 11th ed. detachments to me? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829369.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829369.page GMT Please can someone explain 11th ed. detachments to me?

According to the small rule leaflet that comes with the deck, you pick your disposition in secret, right after building your army, before setting up anything else.

So technically, you should be able to switch based on your opponent's army.

Disclaimer: I own the German card deck, and German translations have always been very error-prone. The upside is, no one wants them, so I only paid 15€ for both decks ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829637.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819202/11829637.page GMT Please can someone explain 11th ed. detachments to me?
From a theme/ fluff perspective, I'd say yes, absolutely units DO "go into" detachments. Obviously, if a detachment explicitly buffs only a particular unit or two, those units are "fluffy" for that detachment. Obviously, as mentioned above, many detachments DON'T specify bonuses apply only to certain units, and in those cases, you have to use other cues to determine what units are fluffiest for those detachments.
