How does the hidden deployment trait interact with minelayer? Is the mine also hidden? If yes then can you reveal one but not the other during a turn? **Actually I just noticed it says hidden deployment -3 so the skill could be an error
I think the Hidden Deployment (-3) is simply a typo. Fairly sure the trooper is meant to have Hidden Deployment (same cost as Croc Man with fairly similar gear and stats) and as far as I know there's nothing in the Hidden Deployment skill that interacts with enemy troopers to give them -3 - unless it's meant to be -3 on Sensor checks. You still deploy the Razor using Hidden Deployment so the mine needs to be put down within 8" of that location when you deploy the Razor.
Thank you, so to clarify, at the start of the game the mine is visible to my opponent (as a camo marker) but not the razor?
I lost the match miserably but the minelayer in hidden deployment worked well so thank you fo explaining the rules. Infact it was the only thing that worked all match apart from a Varangian guard , everything else just died horribly.
