Hey everyone, sorry if this has been asked before but I can't find an answer ANYWHERE.

Model A is in cover relative to model B.

Model A declares move as a short skill

Model B declares ARO of shoot

If model A is able to move into a DIFFERENT piece of cover relative to model B then what happens here? Does model A receive the benefit of cover when model B shoots?

The crux of the issue is when does the ARO take place?

To further that, if Model A started out of cover and moved into cover would he get cover when model B fires?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

The simple answer is that the firing happens at any point in the order that the player cares to. Remember though that FtF roll conflict care not at what point in the order the conflicting orders occur, just that conflicting orders occurred. "I'm going to shoot you here, but I'm shooting you back there" is still resolve as a FtF roll at their designated distances.

"When shooting, the player can always choose the moment during the execution of his order in which to attack. The most usual choice is a point in which the situation is the most advantageous: a clear LoF, less cover for targets or optimum weapon distance. This is also applies when using an ARO to shoot."

Moral of the Story: Do NOT leave cover till the models with LoS are good and dead unless you care not for your cover bonus.

Amazing. Thank you very much. Finally found it in the rules too...guess I skipped over it about 30 times.

haha no worries as you have probably learned, the rules to infinity are rather simple and intuitive once you play some games... however knowing where to look for said rules is rough on new players.

Feel free to PM me anytime with rules questions btw.

Just to throw a monkey wrench in there. If the active model can get from cover to cover, out of sight both times, in his first move value you can use Cautious Movement skill. It's a long skill. If you can accomplish this it will not provoke an ARO.

The figure moves a maximum equivalent to his first value in MOV as long as his start and end points are not in an enemy LoF. He will not generate any ARO if a LoF is crossed in the movement. Cautious Movement cannot be used within the radius of the enemy’s Zone of Control. The use of this Long Skill must be declared before performing the manoeuvre.
