Question 1

If a friendly operative attempts to shoot or fight against the specified enemy operative in the Execution Order firefight ploy, but is prevented from doing so by an opponent's rule (e.g. SANCTIFIER CONFESSOR Commanding Declamation, NOVITIATE Blinding Aura), is that friendly operative's activation still cancelled?

Accepted Answer

No. Continue its activation as though the requirements of the Execution Order firefight ploy have been fulfilled.

Question 2

When using the Guilt Reveals Itself 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"?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Question 3

My LEASHMASTER and R-VR CYBER-MASTIFF operatives are activating simultaneously as a result of the Handler rule. Can I use the Brutal Backup firefight ploy to select one of those operatives that has already performed a Fight action during that activation to fight again?

Accepted Answer

No.

Question 4

When using the Marked for Justice STRATEGIC GAMBIT, if my mark is incapacitated while shooting multiple operatives during an action (e.g. as a result of the Blast or Torrent weapon rules), when do I select a new operative to be my mark?

Accepted Answer

At the end of that action, after incapacitated operatives are removed.
