Quick question Am i allowed to deploy Hassasin Ayyar as 3 Naffatun miniatures without Holoprojector markers? I know that after telling my opponent how many orders i have in my group he will notice that, but wirh two Farzan minelayers it might not be that obvious until i move Ayyar. Just not sure if this play is legit.
You have to play the markers on your turn, so during deployment (and your opponent's first turn, if you go second) it's a fair and legal misdirection strategy.
Yeah, if your opponent has initiative, you can use Ayyar as few decoys without marking the Holo. I usually take 3 Naffatuns too - they hide the cost ideally :) And it worked good in my games. One time the Ayyar was the biggest surprise to my enemy - his unit went bravely against "poor located Naffatun out of rifle good range" and a Djanbazan HMG, but to his unpleasant discovery it was Ayyar with good SMR range and a Djanbazan ;) The unit died for sure, Djanbazan perhaps too, but Ayyar stood firmly and then hunted nicely in active turn. I really like this Hassassin. I now have a break from Haqq for Druze (I decided to use only DBS in our local league lasting till June), but Ayyar is definitely one of the guys I want to play more and can't wait to do this ;) Sorry for a bit offtop.
