Really? I never seen them answer so many and even better, ACTUAL frequently asked questions. Not some random question asked by some random forum user, once, and suddenly V:NWI stopped working on multiple wound models
This. As much as I personally am scratching my head at the rationale for some answers they're all answers to questions that were legitimately asked often and where beyond the forums to answer definitively.
Oh, don't get me wrong, it has some of the more clear answers in a long time, and some rationale can be guessed (the TAG keeping whatevs the pilot loots, for example, for consolidation, simplicity and avoid abuse and absurds). I just hoped to see more answers. And at least for the "patches" to be separated, not considered still a FAQ (the LoF, for example, is a patch over the RAW, at least from my point of view).
Interesting take on Stealth there. Massive boost to Cranes and just about any melee unit which can Move into melee with 1st Short Skill without breaking LOF and have a mook trigger ZoC ARO. Unless I'm missing something vital, Crane shouls be able to trigger normal rolls of CC22 with PH17 prior to having any CG enter melee since victim can't declare Change Facing when Engaged and can't target the Crane/monster due to FAQ and Stealth.
In addition, any stealth hacker that can join a FT (or even Coordinated orders) can fry an enemy hacker simply by moving something that doesn't have stealth in their ZoC on the first short skill. The only thing the enemy hacker can do is reset. This is definitely a buff to mixed stealth fireteams. Let's see if it actually occurs enough in games to tilt the balance. EDIT: For posterity, I'd keep all of the questions in the OP, but just organize them into a "solved" section with the plain language version of the FAQ (if necessary).
Yup. Same Crane says hello to Mary Problems. He's the active turn monster now. Particularly since the Kuang Shi Control Devices are comms equipment. Sure, the Repearer will give Mary Firewall, but the Crane will be rolling normal rolls and the Control Device doesn't need to work for the Smoke Grenade Launcher to do its job.
It's both repeatable and you should compare to the situation prior to that. Also keep in mind that Crane can also engage in firefights with other targets thanks to this, which is a massive huge improvement for them. @ijw does disabled Comms Equipment generate AROs for AHDs and other devices with Blackout?
If you're facing the wall, right? Otherwise, with back to the wall, the Facing doesn't reach each of the corners and it's possible to pie-slice you in the back. You'd get LoF, but not facing, so cannot fire back.
That page, where they changed the rules, has the word “Errata” at the top of it. Did you want it bigger?
Can we keep this thread for collecting the unsolved questions and debate interactions in other ones please?
I did a quick reading of the FAQ, the following question seems to be solved, do we all agree ? - Stealth and Hacking ARO - Discover + Discover vs Imp marker (discover + discover now forbidden) - Tactical awareness/NCO + fireteam interaction - CC in a smoke and Sixth sense - CC and Sixth sense (when attacked from the back) - Critical and impact template - Data scan and face to face ARO Did I miss one ?
You can't, you don't meet the requirements to declare it. It's also part of why Breakwater is so bad.
@Arkhos94 could you add Triangulated Fire and Surprise Shot? https://forum.corvusbelli.com/threads/surprise-shot-triangulated-fire.25564/ That problem had caused a dispute yesterday and the rules aren't that clear.
