    Two enemy camo markers, side by side. One is a mine, one is a trooper.

    I move a Preta in to the mine's area of effect with my first short skill. The mine reveals and detonates hitting my Preta. Now for the second skill, can I attack the now revealed mine with a Chain Rifle in order to hit the camo'd trooper next to it?

    I feel like it's a "No", but I'm unsure and I wasn't able to find anything in a search do to the plethora of "key words" for this particular interaction.

    Mines are explicitly targettable once revealed. (You can Discover+Shoot from a distance to pop a mine without risking taking the template hit.)

    Camo is revealed retroactively for the entire order in which it is broken.

    The mine doesn't actually resolve exploding until the end of the order.

    I think this might actually work, if you're willing to sacrifice the unit that is triggering the mine, since you will then take a mine template to the face completely unopposed.

    Edit: See below, this does not work.

    Triggering a mine isn't among the camouflage cancellation clauses for said mine...

    Also, the text is a bit blurry... it notes "Once triggered, it is removed from play", so draw your own conclusions.

    I'd say you can only shoot the mine by discovering it first, not by face-tanking it.

    Mines don't declare AROs, specifically for this reason, so they don't actually break Camouflaged state when they trigger.

    Once triggered a mine isn't it immediately "killed" as it is removed from the table at the time of triggering?

    "Once a Mine triggers, it is removed from play."
    If it's not in play I hardly see how you could Target it with an attack.

    So there's basically multiple reasons the answer is 'No'.
