I thought that if there homer you didn't need to roll for reserves OR scatter... In other words you literally "point and click" and the T's arrive.

b) GKT (or any other Deepstriking model) can't be teleported directly into CC - they have a minimum range of 1" from their base to an enemy's base.

I know. I thought that the IST could hold their own for a turn or two while the GK's DS waited a turn then assaulted.

c) When a unit is Deepstruck, they can't move or assault that turn. So the GKT wouldn't be able to close that 1" (or more) gap to help out the IST.

I imagined that on the turn that they arrive would be the same turn that the IST assaulted. It would be like this, the IST move up and call down the GK's. The GK's then shoot the Character and then the IST assault. After one turn, and the enemy at In1, then the GK's assault. As you pointed out before, this would assume perfect timing from the GK's.

d) The IST would have to SURVIVE to hit the model in question - for multiple turns, since you have to wait for the reserve roll to come up, and then wait another turn to move them into combat. Any unit that can pop a GM & retinue can just as easily pop an IST squad.

There is 10 of them there. A character can only kill 5 at a time, tops. And again I thought that the GK's wouldn't take too long to get there.
