    Hi everyone,

    I ran into a game situation that my opponent and I were both a bit stumped by. Here's the situation:
    1. Troopers A and B are standing less than 2" from one another and are not in a link team.
    2. Trooper A activates and declares Move as their first short skill
    3. Enemy Trooper X AROs with a Plasma Carbine in Blast Mode.
    4. Both A and B are caught in the blast template.
    5. Trooper A declares Dodge as their second short skill.
    Question: Can Trooper B Dodge?

    Dodge states that a trooper can dodge if one of three requirements is true, one of which is being affected by a template weapon. However, this would essentially mean that Trooper B gets to ARO an ARO, which is explicitly stated as not being possible. Which one wins out?

    Since it was a casual game we decided that Trooper B could dodge, but I figured I'd check here with everyone else.

    You don't get reactions in the active turn.

    No, Trooper b cannot dodge. Active turn units do not get AROs.

    Yeah I feel like this is badly phrased in the rules. I feel like it should just say "Is affected by a template weapon in the reactive turn".
