Good evening everyone! It's been a while since I've seen you all. H5 doesn't raise as many questions as it used to, but sometimes... We're having a debate about combining the Stealth and Cautious Movement rules in N5. This has probably been discussed before, but I couldn't find it. Model A with the Stealth skill starts its order in ZoC of Model B, but out of its LoF(behind nearest corner), then declares Cautious Movement, passes through B's LoF, and moves behind B thus ending the move outside LoF of B. Does Model B receive an ARO? It seems to me that the second point of the Stealth rule quite clearly states that the ARO will be the same as when A entered LoF B. But what if I'm missing something? If the user declares Cautious Movement, Idle, or a Basic Short Skill with the Movement Label, they only grant AROs to enemies that have LoF to them.
My interpretation is Cautious movement works if you start and end out of LoF and ZoC of enemy models and markers. Stealth allows you to cautious move in ZoC as long as you're out of LoF. As long as you start and end the cautious move out of LoF you should be ok?
You need to pair this rule with "CAUTIOUS MOVEMENT". Cautious Movement normally requires staying outside the enemy's LOF & ZOC. Stealth allows all skills listed under it to "grant AROs to enemies that have LoF to them." This means the condition for generating an ARO changes from LOF & ZOC to strictly LOF. Consequently, a unit with Stealth using Cautious Movement only needs to avoid the enemy's LoF, without needing to worry about ZOC.
