I wouldn't mind it either. But it's also a question of is that situational use, pistols in CC, worth the effort in the rules at all? How many...
My mistake, you're correct, I got them confused.
I did have the thought the rules would be cleaner if profiles were simply given a CC weapon comparable to that of a pistol in close combat. Which...
The reality is the small group I play with has moved onto other games. Trying to play now is like pulling teeth. No matter how much I want to...
Which is exactly my point, thanks. It's pretty easy to resolve when there is a veteran helping a new player. The trouble of course is for two new...
I admit this topic is one of the more extreme cases to use as an example of what's unclear. I'm basically trying to add fuel to the fire. The size...
You're making it sound as if Infinity is some well scripted rule set that clearly lays out step by step when rules text is applied. It most...
Hasn't that been made clear by now? I'm not trying to declare a BS Attack.
Pistol A BS weapon useful both at short range and in CC. Pistols are BS weapons that can be used in CC. It's not a weapon with two profiles...
That doesn't make the rule any clearer. I understand the intent. But a trait allowing me to use BS weapons in close combat doesn't instantly tell...
That's not correct. Inside a Zero Visibility Zone: troopers can only declare Skills that do not require LoF Dodge requires LoF so cannot be...
Exactly. LoF isn't a requirement to make a CC attack but it is for Dodge. Maybe there's a reason for this? EDIT: In other words, I can Smoke you,...
I dunno, because you're shooting someone with a gun? My point is simply that it isn't very clear you use a different stat in those circumstances....
But that is only saying Dodge is a valid declaration. Valid in normal circumstances. Smoke/ZVZ changes the circumstances. Being able to declare...
Exactly. Engaged in CC allows you to draw 360˚ LoF to those in base to base. That isn't the same as giving you LoF. ZVZ rules explicitly state...
I play it that way as well. But where does it say this explicitly? It's not exactly intuitive that that a gun using the BS attribute switches to...
And how do you come to that conclusion? I have LoF to an enemy 10" away if there are no obstacles and I can draw a line from my front 180 arc to...
When making a CC Attack using a pistol am I using the CC attribute or BS? I don't see this mentioned anywhere. Also, do pistols get range bonuses...
That question wasn't about Jammers. If it was, the answer would have been yes. If you can use a Jammer to shoot in the active turn through total...
An Active player and Reactive player are in base to base contact within Smoke. Do they have LoF to each other? I assume the answer is no.
