Too bad for Daemons there is absolutely NO way to avoid this sort of shenanigans :\

.... Deepstrike?

Doesn't work when they literally cover the board in Kroot :S
It only takes like 80 or so >_> Not common to happen, but possible.

I think that's a little unfair to the guy Klokk. It wasn't being stupid, no one would expect a 30 man squad to simply kongaline to block off the deployment zone completely - it's simply a very dodgy move (legal yes, but dodgy) that worked because he had a fluffy white scars army, and not a 5th ed Mech army. Insulting a guy for using a tactic that many people use (deploying all in reserve) is a little unfair in this instance.

Frankly I'm kinda confused as to why he wasn't Outflanking with half his army anyway.

He didn't have Khan, just a Biker Captain or something (which also allows you to take an all biker army). My bet is that he's one of the old guard who still don't trust them fancy "special" characters. Or he just hates Khan, either way...

Could it have been during 4th ed?

It was Russia v France in the 2009 ETC. They don't allow Special Characters at all so he couldn't use Khan and yes, the French lad asked him 2 or 3 times if he was putting everything into reserve before he deployed.

Oh dear, that guy would have felt awful stupid after being asked if he was sure :S
