    Does the strategic deployment rule allow you to hold the entire fireteam as your reserve? If so that changes the value of it a lot.

    No. That came about from people misunderstanding what Bostria said in a video. If I recall correctly he said it let's the fireteam deploy with him. Given the rule text that obviously meant official deployment location, not timing.

    Yeah, naah.

    @Bostria either made a small error, or just didn't describe it very well, because all it does is:

    » During the Deployment Phase, the owner of this Special Skill first, and then the rest of the Fireteam, can be deployed as if they have the Forward Deployment Level 1 Special Skill.
    » In those scenarios or when applying tournament rules which provide the Forward Deployment Level 1 Special Skill to any member of the Fireteam, the owner of Strategic Deployment, and the rest of the Fireteam, can be deployed as if they have the Forward Deployment Level 2 Special Skill.

    How can you then first deploy hannibal (with FD2), if you have a bolt that has FD1 giving the whole team FD2?

    It's implied that he can deploy with FD2, even 'though he goes down first.

    Which is a little strange, but ok.

    So if you hold Hannibal as your reserve you lose the benefit of the ability? It (and the whole army) seems rather lackluster...

    You do.

    And I love it for entirely setting and background reasons, but can see few mechanical reasons to prefer it over other armies.

    It looks like most of your army can start up the board. This sounds like MRRF fluff :D
