    I was just re-reading the rule book to prepare for my first game of N4 (at last!). I noticed something that surprised me. My memory of N3's rules were that placing a Mine Cancelled the Camouflage State (basically, I think any non-movement Common Skill cancelled Camouflage). To my reading, this is no longer the case in N4.

    Camouflaged State is cancelled by Attack, Look Out!, or any Skill that requires a Roll --- Place Deployable does not require a roll. The Place Deployable Skill makes no explicit mention of being used by troops in the Camouflaged State, nor does the Equipment entry for Mines.

    Am I missing something somewhere, or can a Camouflaged Trooper in N4 use the Place Deployable Skill on their Active Turn (or as an ARO!) without Cancelling this State?

    Place Deployable is an Attack.

    EDIT: To expand - It has the Attack label despite being a short skill/ARO

    This is the label that disrupt Camouflaged:

    Any and every skill with that label, will cancel the state.
    Special mention to "interact" with objectives, as all of those skill are labelled as Attack

    Notably, Stunned also stops it for the same reason.
