stalk/stealth/lurk
« on: July 31, 2006, 05:25:17 PM »
At what point do you lose your "satealthyness" and to whom? Under "spot" is says that the unit who did the spoting, and only that unit, can see the "Stalking/Stealthy/Lurking (SSL)" unit. Under Stalk/Stealth, it says that as soon as the model does an action other than "move/aim/concentrate.." it loses its stalky/stealthiness, but to whom? the model/unit it attacks? or to the whole board? or to units in LOS?

First you have to be spotted. As long as you only move/aim/concentrate you cant be acted upon. When you are spotted only the SQUAD that spots you can see and act upon you. Once you perform an action other than M/A/C it is my understanding that you lose it only to the SQUAD that the action affects. Thats what I was told and how Ive been playing it.

Hmmm... makes me sad that Capitol doesn't have any Stalking models.

Who else has a rocket pack/jump jet besides Captiol?  I think the jump pack is better, IMHO.

Stalk/Stealth can be extremely deadly on a limited sight/ hvy terrain board. Jump packs are nice too, especially on an urban or hilly board.  Thats why I love both forces.

Reraising this question, as Ifound something that appears to conflict.

Under Unseen Assailant, a model may use its first AC to charge, and subsequently kill an opponent.  It may then use its remaining AC to move to a position of safety.  If that position is out of LOS of any model within 12", its Stalking status is preserved.

Does this mean that it never left Stalk while making an attack from being Hidden?
If sing, sang, and sung, sink, sank, and sunk, and drink, drank, and drunk, how is it that it isn't bring, brang, and brung, think, thank and thunk, and ding, dang, and dung?

Don't even get me started about bad, badder and baddest.  Run, ran AND run...again?  C'mon!

The answer is Yes and No. If he makes it to cover his attack was so fast no one had time to react and see him, but if he doesn't make it to cover then he is seen when units are reacting to there fallen comrade. I hope that makes sense to you. ;) ;)

Makes sense to me.  It's the classic Indiana Jones jumps the last straggling Nazi marching by and then drags him behind some crates to swap uniforms. 

"Has anyone seen Johannes?" 
"Johannes who?"

Or the Alien who grabs the hapless yet colorful tertiary character and drags him/her up a airshaft for a little lunch while no one's looking--

Etc, et al, ad infinitum--

I find short, post-count-adding answers to be a disappointing aspect of sharing information and would discourage everyone from succumbing to the temptation of using them to pad your post count. The fact that my speaking out against them actually pads my post count is an irony that I fully comprehend but hope most of you will miss....hmmmm....maybe I shouldn't have typed that last bit.  ;D
