    Please keep comments to questions and confirmed answers.

    Many thanks.

    Starting off with some bits from @Bobman's ITSX thread:

    LANDING ASSISTANCE

    Q. “Do Imetrons and Netrods benefit from ‘Landing Assistance?”
    A. Unanswered

    Q. “How does Landing Assistance affect coordinated AD.”
    A. “Coordinated AD still requires a drop zone.”

    BRAVERY

    Q. “Can troopers failing deployment rolls take advantage of Bravery?”
    A. “No. Failed deployment rolls will result in usual effects.”
    https://forum.corvusbelli.com/threads/its-x-questions-and-answers.24870/page-2#post-151876


    DATATRACKER/LIAISON OFFICER

    Q. Are you required to include a DataTracker/Liaison Officer in your Army List for missions that include these rules?
    A. Unanswered.

    Q. If your list includes a valid DataTracker/Liaison Officer option, are you required to deploy them in a way that allows you to declare a DataTracker/Liaison Officer?
    A. Unanswered.


    TACTICAL WINDOW

    Q. What counts as a 'trooper' for the fifteen-trooper limit in Tactical Window events?
    A. It's the same as the limit on 'troopers' in a Combat Group. So an AI Beacon will count as one of the fifteen, as would a Posthuman with 2-3 Proxies, as would a Chimera and Pupniks, as would a Doctor/Engineer with Servants.

    Add, for the Liaison list, the Kanren FO with Holoprojector in case we can get an official answer (I bet on all three echos get the Liason marker, the same Patroclus get 3 Duo Leader markers when linked to Achilles, but people are asking that).

    There's no need to bet.

    "The trooper chosen must be always one of the models or Markers deployed on the game table."

    My emphasis.

    Next question would be if applying it to an empty holoecho is ok... which the RAW you cited allows -.-

    No, because a decoy Holoecho is not a trooper.

    "The Holoechoes are considered real troopers in regards to providing AROs, checking LoF, and activating enemy weapons or pieces of Equipment (Mines, E/Maulers, etc.), but since they act simultaneously, all three provide only one ARO to each enemy in LoF or ZoC."

    Considering the holoecho rules were written some time ago before the Liason officer came along, I feel like this issue should be asked anyway.
    Datatracker offers us no precedent since Markers can't be one, however.

    The Netrod-Tactical Window debate. We're prepping a tourney soon, and I don't think there will be zero AI beacon on the entry..

    Request for @xagroth and @Willen - please start a new thread for discussing this issue.

    @ObviousGray yes, that's already in the WIP part of the post.

    @ijw are these questions already officially answered?

    Do Zondcats and the like need to make their own AD roll?
    Do they need a template like Coordinated Order ADs?

    The first two have links to the official answer. The third is confirmed but not yet published in an FAQ etc.

    See the existing discussion (https://forum.corvusbelli.com/threads/delta-doctor-with-yudbot-b.34971/) yes and yes.

    I haven't seen anything official about it yet, so:

    For Concilium Watch, do combination weapons count if one of their component weapons is on the banned list? (Eg: Combi Rifle + Light Flamethrower)
    This is only a question due to the FAQ stating that combination weapons do NOT count as their separate component weapons. The FAQ centers specifically on burst bonus, but the implication is that not counting them as their component weapons would hold for similar rules.

    Please note that this is not what the FAQ says.

    Q: Can I apply the bonus of +1 to Burst for Twin Weapons, if my troop has a Light Shotgun and has used the Special Skill Scavenger to get a Rifle+Light Shotgun?
    A: No. To be able to apply the bonus for Twin Weapons, both the weapons must be exactly the same. The weapons with the symbol “+” are a combined weapon.

    The FAQ just says that the entire weapon has to be identical to get the Burst Bonus, without saying that the Light Shotgun part is no longer a Light Shotgun.

    prolly a stupid question but hvt are always used in ITS unless it says otherwise ?
    (for example frontline doesn't say we have to use a HVT)
    if yes why is there isn't a tag "hvt" below "Special Rules"

    Yes. It's a default rule and is only mentioned in the summary when it's not used.

    But does is say "Rifle + Light Shotgun" has parts, rather than being a single piece of weaponry that can fire as if it was either Rifle or Light Shotgun?

    Same as that Twin Weapons FAQ does, essentially. While it only applies to Twin Weapons rule, I imagine the very reason that question was asked was that rules don't specify whether A+B is just a set of separate guns A and B (so no different from "A, B" unless stated otherwise, like in this FAQ) or yet another separate weapon called "A+B" that can shoot like two entirely different guns: either as A or as B.

    FAQ only solves this question for a specific instance of applying Twin Weapons bonus, but otherwise it doesn't seem to be resolved in general.

    A suggestion to use "common sense interpretation" is okay I guess, but so is "let's apply the same logic CB applied to TW" or "there should be a reason CB uses different symbols, namely commas and pluses, in unit profiles".

    Thanks for the clarification. I've tried in the past to get CB to clarify "there should be a reason CB uses different symbols, namely commas and pluses, in unit profiles" in the rules text, but no go. :-(
