Starter strip over weather guard?

Conflicting points of view. If weather guard (ice shield) is in place, does a starter strip still have to be added prior to asphalt shingles being installed?
Thanks.

I have NEVER EVER used ice and water shield as a starter course, and have no idea why a supply house would ever suggest that. Even when I worked for the worst of the worst hack shops where every corner that could be cut would be we would turn a 3-tab shingle backwards and use that. the first course needs something with some meat to adhere to. What state are you in?
