use the Infiltrate special rule to deploy. Starting with the player deploying first, deployment is then
performedasfollows
1) The player selects one model to be deployed (units may be deployed within their dedicated
transportasasinglemodel).
2) The player rolls a D6 for the model and determines the deployment zone for the model (see
deploymenttablebelow).ModelswiththeInfiltratespecialrulemayrerolltheD6,butmust
abidebythesecondresult.
3) The player then deploys the model anywhere in the deployment zone more than 3 from an
enemymodel.
4) Players alternate deploying models by repeating steps 13 until all models except those in
reservearedeployed.
