Camouflage example
The following is an example that Interruptor gave to the infinity community on Aug 30, 2012.
It is said that, in an Order, everything happens at the same time and that’s true. However, as Camouflage and Hiding is a Special Skill, it provides an exception to the general rule, as Special Skills usually do.
So, when using Camouflage, the point in which the troop is revealed is quite important, as the Short Skill that reveals the troop is not necessarily simultaneous with the other Short Skill of the Order.
I’m going to use the nice graphic made by Necra-Chi (Thanks and kudos, my friend! ), as it works as a good resume of this.
Blue is a camo marker. Please note in all scenarios the end of blue's movement is out of red's
LOF, but blue always begins in
LOF.
Scenario A - Blue declares move into base contact with its 1st Short Skill of the Order. Its whole movement is made camouflaged, until the point it reaches base contact where it is revealed. As Red has not
LOF with that point, its only
ARO could be Discover. Green can delay his
ARO declaration until know what will be the 2nd Short Skill of the active Order. Blue then declares
CC. Now, Green can declare to
CC or Dodge, but not a
BS attack because when Blue be revealed, it will be in base contact with it.
Scenario B - Blue declares move into base contact with its 1st Short Skill of the Order. As before, Red has not
LOF with that point, its only
ARO could be Discover. Green delays its
ARO declaration. Blue then declares
BS attack against Green from just before it reaches base contact. Thanks to Combat Camouflage, the
BS attack will be a Normal Roll, and Green could only perform its
ARO if it survives to the attack. As Blue is revealed before to be in base contact, Green can now declare a
BS attack, a
CC attack, or a Dodge, which could be performed only if it survives Blue’s attack.
Scenario C - Blue declares move to a point in where it is not in base contact, but outside
LOF of Red. Again, Red has not
LOF with that point, its only
ARO could be Discover. Green delays its
ARO. Blue then declares a
BS attack at Green, from its current position. Green can now declare a
BS attack or a Dodge, which could be only performed if it survives Blue’s attack.
Scenario D - Blue declares move to a point in where it is not in base contact, but, again, outside
LOF of Red. As in the previous scenarios, Red has not
LOF with that point, its only
ARO could be Discover. Green delays its
ARO. Blue then declares to lay a Mine (Orange circle), a Short Skill that reveals it. Now, Green could declare a
BS attack if desired.
