Update PDF 2.1, July 2023

  • During the Reactive Turn, if an Order allows to several Proxies that belong to the same G: Jumper Trooper to react in ARO, then the player must choose only one of them to be the Active Proxy by placing the Active Proxy Token beside it.
  • Active Proxies can react in ARO normally.
  • Inactive Proxies can react in ARO can only declare Dodge or Reset.
  • At the end of the Order in which a Proxy entered Isolated State, or any Null State, the player can place the Active Proxy Token beside any of the G: Jumper Trooper's other Proxies which is not in Isolated State, or any Null State.
  • A G: Jumper Trooper cannot activate a Proxy in Isolated State, or any Null State, until the State is cancelled.

Original


G: Jumper and Victory Points

The player must count separately each Proxy's Cost Attribute value of its Unit Profile.

G: Jumper and Lieutenant

If the G: Jumper Trooper is the Lieutenant and all his Proxies are in Isolated State or any Null State, that will result in a Loss of Lieutenant situation. This situation can be cancelled normally.

G: Jumper, Hidden Deployment and Marker States

Placing an Active Proxy Token beside a Proxy that is in a Marker State (Camouflaged, Impersonation, Holoecho...) doesn't reveal the Proxy, because the Proxy hasn't declared any Skills yet.

The same applies to Hidden Deployment State, activating the Proxy doesn't reveal the Trooper. So, it is not required that the player place the Active Proxy Token on the game table until the moment he declares an Order or ARO with the hidden Trooper.

G: Jumper and Combat Groups

When a player moves a G: Jumper Trooper into a different Combat Group, he will move all the Proxies, as they are considered to be a single Trooper in each Combat Group.

G: Jumper and Suppressive Fire

If a Trooper with G: Jumper has a Proxy in Suppressive Fire State, that Proxy stays in Suppressive Fire State even if another Proxy is activated.


Active Turn Game Example

The Posthuman has 3 Proxies on the battlefield. A Proxy Mk.2 (infiltrated and Camouflaged) armed with a MULTI Sniper Rifle, a Proxy Mk.4 (Heavy Infantry) with an HMG and a Proxy Mk.5 Forward Observer, placed in the Deployment Zone. The Posthuman Trooper decides to activate her infiltrated Proxy Mk.2, placing the Active Proxy Token beside it and declaring her Order: Move + BS Attack. The successful shots of her Sniper Proxy clear the path for her Heavy Infantry Proxy Mk.4 with HMG. So, she places the Active Proxy Token beside it and declares her next Order: Move + Move, taking up a good firing position with the Heavy Infantry. That is the end of the ALEPH player's Active Turn, with the Active Proxy Token beside the Heavy Infantry Proxy Mk.4.


Reactive Turn Game Example

Then, the Active Turn of her opponent begins. A Hellcat lands in the rearguard of the ALEPH player, in LoF of the Inactive Proxy Mk.5, and in the ZoC of the Proxy Mk.4, the Active Proxy. The ALEPH player reacts with both Proxies, and decides to jump into the Proxy Mk.5, which becomes the Active Proxy and declares its ARO: BS Attack. In addition, the Inactive Proxy Mk.4 declares a Dodge ARO, to face the threat of the Hellcat.

Since the Hellcat’s Combat Jump is an Entire Order, no Face to Face Rolls are made with the Proxies. Both Proxies pass their Rolls, so the Hellcat must make a Saving Roll and the Proxy Mk.4 can use Dodge movement and face in the direction its player wishes.

N4 FAQ
Version: 1.0, Jan 2021
