Rules Commentary

3 Q&As
Q:
If I requisition EXACTION SQUAD operatives, can my other INQUISITORIAL AGENT operatives benefit from the permitted Ruthless Efficiency faction rule?
A:
No. Only the requisitioned EXACTION SQUAD operatives can use the Ruthless Efficiency faction rule. Note that this means a requisitioned EXACTION SQUAD operative will not be able to select an enemy operative as the valid target of a Shoot action if one of your other INQUISITORIAL AGENT operatives that aren't EXACTION SQUAD are within that enemy operative's control range.
Q:
When using the Absolute Authority firefight ploy, can I use it after seeing some of the effects of a ploy the opponent uses? For example, if they must select an operative, can I use it after they select them?
A:
No. You must use it when the ploy is declared, but before any of its rules are resolved. Note that we expect players to be sporting and give their opponent the opportunity to use Absolute Authority when they declare a ploy, before resolving its rules.
Q:
When using the Intense Scrutiny strategy ploy, if my opponent has a rule that says it cannot be selected as a valid target, taking precedence over all other rules except being within 2" (e.g. HERNKYN YAEGIR In Position), does this increase the 2" distance exception to 4"?
A:
Yes.
