How do y'all like to react to someone attempting to discover a camo marker. Sit and wait and hope they fail or just shoot em up ?

Depends on who's trying to discover what and whether I think that I've got a fair chance of doing something.

If something nasty is trying to discover a Bandit, I'll probably sit tight, clench butt-cheeks and hope to ride it out.

If a regular mook is trying to discover an Intruder Sniper, he's getting a DA round in his face.

It really depends on the unit they're trying to discover too. Playing Ariadna, we use our camo tokens as order sinks, so the more orders you have to spend discovering them, the better.

If it's a forward unit with mines, like a Chasseur, and my opponent does something like "move + discover" to save orders in breaking my camo, often I'll ARO by dropping a mine.


I would say 10 to 1 I either hold or drop a mine, because I'm never really winning much by shooting them once in their turn when I can happily shoot them with 3 dice in my turn. The only exception would be if there's an enemy with TO camo or ODD, and my opponent is low on orders, and the camo token has a flamethrower. The possibility of burning an obnoxious ODD unit then shooting it in my turn is sometimes too much to pass up!

What every seems like the best option at the time. Should I drop a templete on him with a cheap camo unit and take the hit or should I try to drop prone behind a wall so I can't be seen. I once had a ninja dodge into CC with one of my guys he knew would wipe him in a shot out. It really is a in the moment thing, as the best option will change depending on units and terrain.

Flash Pulse or dodge, but my shas are weak and expensive so I can't really play the sacrifice game with them.
