Infiltration Roll

Update PDF 5.2, October 2025

An Infiltration Roll is required to infiltrate into the enemy's half of the table. This is a Normal Roll with PH-3.
If a Trooper has Infiltration listed in its Unit Profile with a PH value between brackets, the PH-3 Infiltration Roll is made using that PH value.
The Infiltration Roll must be made after placing the user on the game table, along with any Deployable Weapon or piece of Equipment they can deploy.
Infiltration (ReRoll PH=X). Any failed Infiltration Roll can be rerolled, but applying the PH Attribute indicated between brackets to the PH-3 Roll. The player must accept the result of this last Roll.
Failed Infiltration Roll. If the user fails the Roll, they must be placed within their player's Deployment Zone, in contact with the edge of the game table.
Additionally, after failing this Roll, the user loses the option to deploy in a Marker State or Hidden Deployment State and is always deployed as a Model. Any Deployable Weapons and Equipment that were deployed alongside them are removed from the game table.

REMEMBER

Troopers cannot be deployed in contact with enemy and neutral Models, Markers, or Tokens, or in contact with any mission objective, no matter the Special Skills they have.

Infiltration Example

A Trooper with the Infiltration, Camouflage, and Minelayer Special Skills, and Shock Mines, decides to deploy in the Enemy's half of the table. They must follow these steps:

Place both Camouflaged (-3) Markers in the Enemy's half of the table following the Minelayer rule.
Check that the Markers are in Zone of Control of each other.
Make the Infiltration Roll, which in this case has a Success Value equal to their PH Attribute -3.

If the Infiltration Roll is failed, the Trooper is placed in Model form within their player's Deployment Zone, touching an edge of the game table and losing the Shock Mine which is removed from the game table.

If the Trooper has the Infiltration (PH=18) Special Skill, the Success Value for their Infiltration Roll (PH-3) is 15 (18-3=15).

Version: 0.0.0, Oct 2025

Q: If a Trooper with Camouflage (1 Use) deploys as a Model, can the Trooper enter Camouflaged State during the game? Does this change if the Trooper fails an Infiltration Roll?

A: Yes, the Trooper can enter Camouflaged State later in the game. If the Trooper attempted to deploy as a Marker and failed the Infiltration Roll, they have used the Camouflaged State and cannot enter it later in the game.
