    See the FAQ, currently page 4, near bottom right, the entry concerning moving through allied markers, which specifically mentions camo markers.

    At this point, the only thing left to conclude is that the bullet point you quoted only refers to enemy camouflage markers. Because you sure as hell can’t be worrying about base contact stopping you at that point.

    I don't think that's sufficient to allow you to get into base contact with the camo marker. Move through, yes, but not touch.

    That said, just spend an order on the camouflaged trooper and declare Reset to cancel state or have a trooper Discover the Marker like @xagroth wrote earlier.

    well, in a "fluf-logical" way, glue should not reveal camo: the dude will remain camoed, with the glue making him imposible to move, and the enemy will look at the glue and see "nothing"

    That's certainly an ignorant statement. The FAQ has changed the written rules plenty of times.

    yes... I know. so what? what is a FAQ: Frequent Answered Questions... and ruling with answers is simply wrong (that is what I try to say in that post that you, in your great knowledge, didn't even try to understand)

    CB has changed rules using FAQ, several times (we all know that), and lots of those times they created new problems because the FAQ affected other rules in a non-intended way. If they errated what needed to fix, and they used FAQ as is supposed to, this would work better.

    Yeah, CB is really abusing the label FAQ. If it's a rules change, call it an Errata (or even Rules Change). If you' are clarifying something using the existing rules, that's an FAQ.

    I have always wondered why CB chose to communicate this way. Telling a bold faced lie makes you look foolish, petty and weak.

    That's how it's been labelled for the last 3-4 PDFs.

    Maybe it should also be on the document title (FAQ/Erratas) and on the name of the download section of the website

    yes, they are separating it now, but there still remain some FAQs that do changes in rules and can create confusion. I hope for N4 that those documents are treated like that from the beggining.

    Sure, but CB are finally using 'FAQ' and 'errata' as expected by the players.

    Finally.

    Only took them, what, 12 years? *grumble*


    I'm OK with the document just being named 'FAQ' even if it includes errata, as long as each item is tagged correctly.
