Does a model that previously did not block LOF due to marker state, but whose ARO causes them to leave such state, block LOF during the order in which they lost marker state? Example: Model A moves into LOF of Model X and Model Y (Camo Marker or Hidden Deployment), with Y's silhouette fully blocking X. Both Model X and Marker Y AROs BS Attack, Y loses Marker state for the entire order. Can A still declare BS Attack vs X? Is X' BS Attack still valid?
Given the usual "all at once" resolution, and the clear intent behind the fact that moving models don't block LoF, I would say that dropping out of a marker state also does not block LoF to models until the next order.
This seems like it probably falls into the same weird limbo as "Dodging in ARO creating new ARO opportunities due to opening up LoF" situation.
Well, both revealing TO for ARO and dodging as an ARO are just declarations. They do not happen until the resolution of the actual ARO so neither revealed HD won;t block LOF nor Dodge would actually create new ARO opportunities ;)
The dodge-ARO-LoF thing is a bit of a mess, and I would prefer to avoid dragging it back up as part of this thread if it can be at all avoided.
Exactly my thought. To my knowledge, that's the closest I could draw upon to form an answer to the question. Nah, in the case of losing camo, you lose it for the entire duration of the order and in case of ceasing to block LOF when declaring a movement skill, it's the act of declaring the skill - see IJW's old answer below. http://infinitytheforums.com/forum/...d-from-line-of-sight-gain-aro/#comment-957226 -- Personally, I'd say both situations should have the same answer; the offending unit in between will not alter the visibility of to or from other units, regardless of which skill they declare.
I'd like to put forth that this is a good case for "common sense answers, barring official corrections" in which we simply agree that the declaration of an ARO creating (edit: or altering the validity of ) another ARO is generally not a good sequence of events.
