If a holoecho is hit, can allied models within 8" (or allies who have the holoecho in their ZoC) Alert? Can the model with the holoecho skill Alert?
The Holoecho isn’t an allied trooper. It only counts as a trooper in certain circumstances: “Holoechoes are considered real Troopers in regard to providing AROs, checking LoF, and activating Enemy weapons or pieces of Equipment (Mines, CrazyKoalas, etc.).”
That was my reading too, just wanted to get some wider input (that ruling benefited me). We weren't sure, so we just rolled hi-lo at the time
