This was debated on the regular thread, but somehow became twisted around to indirect fire.

My query was about Sniper ability negating the Stealth ability in regards to Guru Lucius' Guerilla Technique.

As you know, Guerilla Technique gives the unit that Lucius is attatched to the Stealth Ablility when behind cover and given the "take cover" combat drill.

Sniper ability states that cover is ignored.

Since Lucius' Guerilla technique is totally dependant on cover, I submit that the unit is susceptable to fire from sniper capable equipment. i.e. Sniper rifles or Medium Nucleus Cannon.

So my question is....

Does Sniper ability overide Lucius' Guerilla Technique?

Hello, comrade !

The revolutionnary collective for military analysis meets to find an answer to your question. Here is the result of the debate :
The sniper ability doesn't overrides the guerrilla tactic of guru Lucius. The sniper ability ignores the cover, it doesn't negate it ; the cover still exists, but have no effect.
So, you check if a cover is possible, even if, in fact, it isn't because of the sniper. If the cover is possible, the karman fighters have the benefit of their "stealth" ability, but have no cover.

I wish you a good and revolutionnary new year !
