N4: Unresolved rules questions

@Mahtamori Two more for the unsolved list:

When a trooper attempts to improve its cover through Guts movement, is cover measured from the attacker's whole movement path, only the attacker's shooting position, or only the attacker's final position? https://forum.corvusbelli.com/threads/guts-from-attacker-who-peeks.38956/

Can a fireteam declare Discover + a short skill? https://forum.corvusbelli.com/threads/fireteam-performing-discover-shoot.38948/

 

Any reason you've still got impetuous movement as unsolved?

Edit: found it. I do like how the FAQ has pretty much invalidated most of the wording in stealth for how it interacts with ARO and I really hope they change the PDF..

 

That's my preferred interpretation as well, but given that the TOs of a major tournament ruled it otherwise, I think it's still unanswered.

 

I feel like "as far as possible" and "as close as possible" at least narrow the range of bullshit options somewhat.

 

Does it? I feel like a lot of people are reading the FAQ as meaning a return to N3 impetuous movement restrictions (more or less).

 

It sort of is...
You can freely skip the activation, but if you take it the move can get you FUBAR

 

Answered in the FAQ, with White Noise specifically mentioned as an example.

Answered in the FAQ. You can repair STR + Unconscious, or you can repair other States.

As far as I'm aware, this is covered in the FAQ, but I'll post in the thread to ask what's not been answered.

Rules-wise they absolutely 100% can move with failed Guts Rolls. Otherwise they'd have Religious Troop. I suggested this as a fix some time ago, so it's either intended, or such a low priority to be fixed that it's effectively intended.

This appears to be answered in the linked thread.

This is equivalent to the FAQ that bans moving through walls when there is enough space, which I've added to the linked thread.

This appears to be solved in the linked thread?

 

@ijw it would be very much appreciated if you could confirm what the solution is. A majority of posters in the thread concluded that cover is measured against the attacker's whole movement path due to All At Once, but the TOs of a major tournament (Old Dominion Disagreement) reached the opposite conclusion, also posted in that thread. I don't know which answer you're saying has solved the question. Can you tell us which is correct?

 

Concerning performing Idle...

• If the user declares a Short Movement Skill or Cautious Movement within the Zone of Control of one or more enemies and stays outside their LoF, he does not grant AROs to those enemies.
• However, if the second Short Skill of the Order is any non-Movement Skill, then those enemies can react normally in ARO.
• If the Movement of the Trooper with Stealth ends in Silhouette contact with an enemy who had no LoF against them and declares any non-Movement Short Skill, then the enemy can only declare CC Attack, Dodge, Reset, or those Skills that can be used in Engaged State.

You're arguing over whether the second bullet point is "perform" (that "the second skill of the order" means the second skill performed in the order) instead of the second skill declared for the order because the FAQ says:

If several Troopers are activated at once (for example a Coordinated Order or a Fireteam) and one of them uses Stealth while outside a reactive Trooper's ZoC or Hacking Area, can the Trooper that used Stealth be chosen as the target of AROs?

Yes, but the ARO will only be considered valid if the Stealth user performs a Skill that allows AROs.​

(underlining added)?

 

You have it listed as partially solved indicating that there's an unanswered question around LoF of holomask troops. What's the unanswered question?
