Hi,
Two soldiers (Sgt Mike REP 4, Pvt Evans REP 3) attempt to cross a street 12 inches away, out of sight of an enemy position protecting the street, so they try to fast move across the street to reach a protective building on the other side. So they announce their intention and are put at 8" in the street waiting to roll the dice in order to complete the movement or not. The enemy react and win the insight test.
- At what point does the insight test occur? In the 1st or 8th inch? Or does the enemy choose at what point in the path it occurs?
- Suppose enemy miss against Mike but they hit Evans, fortunate Evans only get a duck back result, Sgt Mike return fire pinning (Duck Back) all enemy fire. If the insight test took place in inch 1 or in the center of the street, would be Mike able to reach the other side of the street resuming his movement? And Evans would be forced to pullback? Or Could attempt to follow Sgt Mike (short to protection) since the enemy is in duck back too.
Thanks in advance

Hi, Here goes.Two soldiers (Sgt Mike REP 4, Pvt Evans REP 3) attempt to cross a street 12 inches away, out of sight of an enemy position protecting the street, So they are out of sight of the enemy correct? so they try to fast move across the street to reach a protective building on the other side. So they announce their intention and as soon as they step out into sight they trigger the test. They can move 2" more before it is resolved. are put at 8" in the street waiting to roll the dice in order to complete the movement or not. The enemy react and win the insight test. - At what point does the insight test occur? Soon as they come into sight. Soon as the enemy can see them. In the 1st or 8th inch? 1st inch. Or does the enemy choose at what point in the path it occurs? Nope, could end up not even shooting if the runners win the In Sight ans choose to move and make it the 12" to out of sight again. Now if they make it 8" only they can Active fire. If they finish their turn in sight the enemy active fires, no In sight needed as the target started the turn in sight. - Suppose enemy miss against Mike but they hit Evans, fortunate Evans only get a duck back result, Sgt Mike return fire pinning (Duck Back) all enemy fire. If the insight test took place in inch 1 or in the center of the street, would be Mike able to reach the other side of the street resuming his movement? Yep. And Evans would be forced to pullback? Yep, he ducked back when the shooting started. Or Could attempt to follow Sgt Mike (short to protection) since the enemy is in duck back too. Nope, he got shot and ran for cover and cannot do anything until he activates again. Hope this helps.
Thanks in advance |

Can I expand at that question with a case study ? Lets suppose I have soldiers A and B in the same squad. Enemy X moves into their line of sight. In-sight is won by A and B As I understand it, ... A and B fire at X Once their initial fire is complete, X then reacts. Let us suppose he snap fires back at his designated target A, misses. A reacts and snap fires back, X reacts and returns fire.... ...and so on....until eventually A ducks back. A has now had several shots but B has only had that initial shot. Is B's turn done (my current interpretation, as they've had nothing to react to)….or can they carry on /continue to shoot at X ? |

Can I expand at that question with a case study ? Yep, best way to understand things.
Lets suppose I have soldiers A and B in the same squad. Enemy X moves into their line of sight. In-sight is won by A and B
As I understand it, ...
A and B fire at X
Once their initial fire is complete, X then reacts. Correct.
Let us suppose he snap fires back at his designated target A, misses. Ah, sounds like an older set of rules.
A reacts and snap fires back, X reacts and returns fire....
...and so on....until eventually A ducks back. Use this rule instead. If a target receives two results of Return Fire from the same shooter, it Ducks Back instead. This way no long drawn out exchanges.
A has now had several shots but B has only had that initial shot. Right. With new way A would be capped at 2 shots.
Is B's turn done (my current interpretation, as they've had nothing to react to)….or can they carry on /continue to shoot at X ? B is done. He can fire when next active and no need for an In sight be taken as X is already in sight.
Worse case is X activates first. Hope this helps.
