Games Workshop published another preview for the upcoming Astra Militarum Codex. The strategem „Send in the Next Wave“ caught my attention.
Question: Would you have to pay for this new unit with Reinforcement Points?
Let’s look at the rules for Reinforcement Points:
The key sentence here is „Sometimes a psychic power or ability will allow you to add units to your army, or replace units that have been destroyed.“
The second half of the sentence clearly describes the effect of this strategem.
Thus it would seem that the Reinforcement Points rule applies and you would have to pay for this replacement of a previously lost unit through the use of a strategem.
And there are even some FAQs that go with it!
What do you think?
I’d be inclined to say no: Send in the Next Wave is basically a more limited version of the Tide of Traitors ability from the Chaos book, which doesn’t require that you pay points for it. Or rather, you *do* pay for it, but in Command Points, rather like you do with Artefacts.

No because it is the same unit that was destroyed it says so
