Does anybody know why it's necessary to mentally divide the board edge? In your Active Turn, when you decide to deploy one of your troopers with this Special Skill, mentally divide the edges of the play area down the middle into eight segments (two on each side). By spending one Entire Order, the user of this Special Skill may deploy anywhere on the segment of the play area's edge of your choice. This seems like a hold over from when AD L2, and AD L1 were the same skill or something. I see no reason for the segmentation of the play area. Seems like the rules would be clearer if it just said something like "You may deploy along any table edge, excluding your opponents deployment zone".
Yeah Its just a holdover from the parachutist rule, where they all have to come in on the same section.
Keep reading... Airborne Infiltration and Coordinated Orders If you declare a Coordinated Order to deploy using AD: Airborne Infiltration, all participants must enter the battlefield through the same segment.
Okay, that makes sense, but it seems REALLY corner case. Assuming it's useful to deploy multiple troopers with a co-ordinated order, just replace segment with Zone of Control. Now that Mirage Team 5 is no longer being sold, maybe it's time to phase out their special rules as well?
1) This way is consistent with AD1 2) Mirage 5 is still in production and was not included with the FRRM discontinuation 3) Mirage 5 haven't had to deploy in the same section for a few years now
