    Wait... can multiple Pupniks all hit the Panopoly with the same order?!?

    If that's the case, I am absolutely playing Bakunin in any tourney with The Armory or Firefight from here on out.

    No, with g:sync only one model may roll, but gets extra burst and damage bonus for each other model activated and in base contact.

    http://wiki.infinitythegame.com/en/Ghost_(G)#Ghost:_Synchronized
    If the members of the Synchronized Unit are engaged in separate CCs, it works in the same way: only one member in each CC will perform the CC Roll, or the correspondent Roll, getting a MOD of +1 to his B and +1 to the PH Attribute for Damage for each additional member of the Synchronized Unit engaged in that CC. Any member not engaged in CC will perform an Idle.
    Other friendly troopers engaged in that CC, who are not members of the Synchronized Unit don't provide any bonus.
    In ARO, the adversary can only target one of them.

    Sorry @Ayaxs , by "hit" in my original post I meant "use". I was using colloquial language in a vague way, sorry.

    Can multiple Pupniks get weapons from the Panopoly in the same Order, is what I meant.

    Can they? It kind of looks like they can, from what I can see in the rules.

    Isn't there a rule about Simultaneous actions like that? Where if multiple troops are all taking that action you tally the net result of all dice.
    I could have sworn there was but can't locate it on the wiki now.

    Ie: 2 Passes, 2 Fails = Nothing happens.

    Each roll is independent of the others, so yes i think you can get more than one weapon.

    Excellent, thanks for the info!

    I'm going to exploit the hell out of that the next time I play any mission with panoplies.

    Dirty tricks, the biggest reason to be a Nomad!

    There is only one reason to use him: The HMG Taskmaster looks freaking awesome! :D (I still use the Red Fury profile though. :D)

    He brings very much utility with Koalas, TinBot and Stealth and with his Red Fury he can go hunting Warbands. Free Agent can be useful as well.

    In the last two weeks I've found that the TM is very useful in Highly classified and counter measures, being HI, Veteran, reasonably good in CC and an excellent choice as data tracker.
