From the wiki - During their Active Turn, troopers with Holoprojector L2 may revert to the Holoecho state by expending an Entire Order while outside enemy LoF Can I revert to Holoecho state if in LoF of an IMP-1 or IMP-2 marker, since this is perceived as an ally, not an enemy? Similarly, could I re-camo? TIA
Impersonation markers are considered friendly. If they drop Impersonation state and shoot you when you try to re-camo or re-Holo2, however, they get a normal roll and your trooper fails their skill.
Citation needed. The only references I can find are: And: The second is speaking to a very specific interaction, so I'd be extremely hesitant to generalise that too broadly. As is noted above, Friendly Troopers do not trigger AROs whereas Impersonation Markers certainly do: so it's clear that an Impersonation Marker does not 'count as a friendly trooper' for all intents an purposes. Based on that, I'd say 'no you can't re-enter the Holoecho State' because perception is not reality. The trooper with Holoprojector 2 is inside Enemy LOF; it is outside perceived Enemy LOF.
You just quoted them. This has been, for a corner case, extensively discussed on the old forums and never disputed until now.
I must have missed it then. Because the distinction between perceived ally and actual friendly trooper is clear to me. But it's not a hill worth dying on. Edit: *cough* extensively discussed *cough* :P http://infinitytheforums.com/forum/topic/49794-imp-1-and-re-camo/ Continuing the discussion here: I don't buy the 'Impersonator is considered a Friendly trooper' is true for all things. The FAQ makes it clear that the trooper in an Impersonation State is considered a friendly trooper for the purposes of being hit by Templates but we know that a trooper is not considered a friendly trooper for the purposes of generating AROs and we know that the Impersonation marker is considered an 'enemy' for the purposes of Discover+BS Attack (Discover is legal against targets, Discover + BS Attack is only legal against enemies). I don't see how you can say 'that Enemy IMP marker can declare a BS Attack against me but I'm outside of Enemy LOF'.
