I'm curious about how this interacts now. The rules are as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------- HIDDEN DEPLOYMENT DEPLOYMENT SKILL Optional, Private Information EFFECTS ► During the Deployment Phase, it allows the user to deploy in Hidden Deployment State HIDDEN DEPLOYMENT STATE HIDDEN DEPLOYMENT ACTIVATION ► Automatic in the Deployment Phase. EFFECTS ► The Hidden Deployment State is a special form of deployment that allows the user to deploy during the Deployment Phase without placing a Model or Marker on the battlefield. ------------------------------------------------------------ LOSS OF LIEUTENANT ACTIVATION ► If, during the Tactical Phase of the Active Turn, the Active Player lacks a Lieutenant because they did not deploy or the previous Lieutenant is currently in a Null (Unconscious, Dead, Sepsitorized...) or Isolated State, then a situation of Loss of Lieutenant is automatically declared. ------------------------------------------------------------ Looking at this, it appears to me that a model in Hidden Deployment can be the Lieutenant and does not cause Loss of Lieutenant. Can someone see something that contradicts this? I've looked through the rules and can't find it anywhere.
And I'd like to thank my fellow Warcor for finding this: It's under the Lieutenant Rule. Nothing to see here!
