"Template Weapons placed on a group of Troopers in Engaged state will always affect all participating Troopers, even if the placement of the Template would only affect one of them." So, yojimbo or kuroshi shoot smoke outside of LoF landing near enemy, no ARO or Dodge -3 if inside ZoC, so far so good. Move into Silhouette contact, ARO Dodge to avoid this catastrophe, apply -3 to Dodge because either lunatic on the bike is touching the smoke template which in turn applies its effect to anyone else in that melee... I'm right, arent I?
Yes, all troopers in the resulting close combat engagement would be affected by the zero visibility zone. First order is spent shooting from outside ZoC and second order is spent just Move-Move.
Correct, but it hardly matters. The victim is already Dodging at -3 from Martial Arts against the Kuroshi's CC attack on 23. They were doomed even if they didn't apply an additional -3 for no-LoF-active-trooper-in-ZoC.
