Hello everyone. I have been confused about dodge rule wording. It says dodging unit can make FtF roll to evade one or more simultaneous enemy attacks but FAQ says dodge also can be declared even if there is no attack declared. In that case how does it resolved? Does it make dodge a normal roll or replace it with idle?
You can declare an ARO Dodge. If the Active Player chooses not to attack you, your Dodge is a Normal Roll, and you still get to move as you had declared if you make your roll. If the Active Player does choose to attack you, then your Dodge is now Face to Face with the attack, and if you win the Face to Face you both move as you declared and avoid the incoming attacks.
The most common cause for that precision (you can dodge even if no attack was declared) comes when the enemy moves/Idle one of his troops and you have several or yours able to ARO, but some can't reach with their weapons (due to pistol+chain rifle loadout), so you dodge with them instead AND gain that small movement (or not so small if one of those is Achilles...).
