Skarsnik's special rule Sneaky Schemes states the following:
The rules for reinforcements from the BRB have this to say:
Everyone I know always played it so that the troops arrive from the board edge of the controlling player.
But GW forgot to state which board edge the troops delayed by Skarsnik actually arrive from. The rules don't even say what to do if there is a case where this isn't stated.
Is this correct or am I overlooking something?
At the start of the game, before deployment, roll a D6 for each enemy unit. On a roll of 6, that unit has been delayed. Affected units do not deploy as normal, but instead enter play as reinforcements in the Movement phase of their first turn.
The rules for reinforcements from the BRB have this to say:
Sometimes the rules will call for a unit to enter the battle. Where this happens, we refer to the unit entering play as reinforcements.
Units that enter the battle (also referred to as moving onto the board) as reinforcements are placed in base contact with the board edge (upon which board edge, and where, will depend upon the rule that triggers the reinforcements) facing directly towards the battlefield and with all of its rear rank touching the battlefield edge.
A unit that enters as reinforcements cannot charge, as it has missed its opportunity to declare charges, and may not march, but can otherwise participate in the game normally. It's worth bearing in mind that the unit counts as having moved for the purposes of shooting. In addition, all the models in the unit must be set up so that they are within twice their Movement rate of the battlefield edge that they entered from.
