ZoC ARO while in CC/Engaged State

Yes he can declare dodge presuming he has a valid ARO

 

Stealth is involved here...

Does the Camo Marker have Stealth?
If the answer is YES and he doesn't break Stealth (declaring an attack, for example), then Nourkias is not granted the chance to declare any ARO.

If the answer is NO, or the Camo Marker DO breack Stealth, then Nourkias can declare Dodge to leave the engagement.

 

Nourkias can gain a valid ARO due to ennemy move in his ZoC (if camo has no stealth)

I'll add that he has no LoF on this ARO due to engaged state, so the dodge has a -3 mod applied.

Edit: As a fellow antipodes user, I like to "block" ennemy against walls to avoid any dodge; not every trooper has enough dodge distance to replace outside CC in these conditions ;)

 

I think he should met following conditions to properly achieve this kind of dodge:
1) have enough dodge distance to end movement outside antipodes triangle
2) do it without reducing its base size to more than half its value.

 

This is your flying snowman? :)

There are still dice. :)

 

Not activating troops in ZoC to deny "free" attempts to the enemy to help themselves out of a tough situation is a judgement call one needs to make.

Sometimes stopping the attack is more impactful than continuing.

 

I'm pretty sure you can't squeeze between enemy models. The language for moving over surfaces smaller than the base talk about the surface size, not the size of the gap available to move through due to enemy models. I'm basing this interpretation on the FAQ entry in https://infinitythewiki.com/Move

 

This. I cannot squeeze through enemy Units because u are not allowed to enter Siluette contact whilst moving unless to enter engaged state.

and since succesful dodges follow the general Movement Rules it can become tricky leaving engaged state with multiple enemies:

I think with 3 Antipodes placing themselves in a triangle (of sadness) around a S1 or S2 unit there is no gap big enough to leave engaged state.

edit.: just measured it with a simple sketch. 3 Antipodes can trap a S2 Modell with quit easily

 

Super-Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas...

 

right, forgot about nourkias having Super jump.
Still not sure if he can jump over S4 units with 4 inches range... That´s something for the people using Dice-calculaters to calculate =)

but every other S2 units without SJ antipodes are able to catch

 

Can't jump as an ARO in this situation, or even if it's the active turn. Jump isn't a legal option when engaged.

I will also remind people that the Engaged state shows that it is intentional for models to potentially be trapped and unable to extricate themselves from the engaged state even when they pass a Dodge roll.

"A Trooper may also cancel the Engaged State if they pass a Dodge Roll, either Normal or Face to Face. In this case, the Trooper must leave Silhouette contact, moving up to 2 inches to separate themselves from the enemy.
If they cannot move to a valid position that is outside Silhouette contact, the Trooper will remain in Engaged State without moving."

 

You are totally correct. When re-reading carefully, a dodge allowes you to MOVE up to 2 inches, not to declare a short movement skill. Pretty clear. Thank you for pointing that out.

 

Correct, if you get trapped, you are trapped, well played by your opponent.
