    Can Drakios block line of sight to SOMEONE ELSE'S DEVABOTS through Albedo. For example, Drakios who is very delibretely standing in front of SOMEONE ELSE'S devabots declares a move in front of the Kamua MSV2. Kamua chooses to hold ARO since Drakios is Albedo. Drakios second order moves, advancing into red fury range. Is this allowed? see attached for clarification.

    1. Albedo isn't a marker state so Kamau can't hold any ARO. Though as she can't see them, she can't declare any ARO at all excepted when they are in her ZoC.
    2. Activated troopers don't block LoF.

    Remember that the Drakios' Devabots have also Albedo.

    In addition to what @Ayadan said, I’m a little confused about the relevance of the other trooper’s devabots in this scenario. They weren’t getting activated by this order, so they weren’t valid ARO targets anyway.

    Slight correction, from the wiki: http://infinitythewiki.com/en/Line_of_Fire_(LoF)
    In the same way, troops declaring a Movement (As Move, Climb, Jump, Engage, Dodge in ARO... (see FAQ, reactive Dodges no longer have any effect on LoF)) do not obstruct LoF all along their trajectory.
    [Disclaimer: On the wiki, the "Dodge in ARO" is struck through. That formatting was lost when I copy/pasted, and that option doesn't show in the text editor for me.]

    During a movement, troopers are considered to have 360 LoF.

    Otherwise, activating a trooper does not cause it to stop blocking LoF.

    Ok, so lets say Drakios and Devabots park themself in the nice kongo-line.

    Can they block LoF from enemy Kamau MSV allowing someone without Albedo move behind them and past Kamau LoF ? (everyone is on same ground level etc.)


    After re-reading rules seems this is legit.
