When you spend the Lt order, either as the Lt or using the NCO skill, do you have to state the relevant special skill being used to spend the order? Specific situation: A non-linked Hafza Lt is in holomask state and is being represented as a trooper with the NCO skill. The hafza spends the Lt order to move-move (not breaking holomask). Does this show that the NCO trooper is not using the NCO skill and 'clue' my opponent that the trooper is actually a Lt?
NCO is not private information. As the real trooper does not have NCO, I don't think is allowed you declare the use of a skill you do not really have.
Thanks, that makes sense and was where I was leaning. So formally when activating a trooper using a Lt order you should declare that you are using the NCO skill (or the Lt skill)?
Yeah, so you'd say "My Lieutenant is spending their own order" or "This trooper uses NCO to spend the Lieutenant order".
