ENGAGED STATE

Activation

• The Trooper is in Silhouette contact with an Enemy Trooper, and neither are in a Null or Immobilized State.

• The Trooper is in Silhouette contact with an Enemy Trooper, and neither are in an Immobilized or Null (except Sepsitorized or Possessed) State.

Effects

• Troopers in Engaged State are considered to be in Close Combat.
• Troopers in this State can only declare CC Attack, Dodge, Idle, Reset, and Skills that specify that they can be used in Close Combat or in Engaged State. (See FAQs & Errata. Berserk can be declared while in Engaged State.)
• Troopers that are in Engaged State may not trace LoF outside their Close Combat.
• By declaring BS Attack on a Trooper in Engaged State, the BS Attack against a Close Combat rule must be applied.
• Template Weapons placed on a group of Troopers in Engaged state will always affect all participating Troopers, even if the placement of the Template would only affect one of them.

Cancellation

• This State is cancelled when the Trooper in question ceases to be in Silhouette contact with any Enemy Troopers.

• A Trooper's Engaged State is automatically cancelled if, in the Effects step of any Order, all enemies in Silhouette contact are in Null or Immobilized States.

• A Trooper's Engaged State is automatically cancelled if, in the Effects step of any Order, all enemies in Silhouette contact are in an Immobilized or Null (except Sepsitorized or Possessed) State.

• A Trooper may also cancel the Engaged State if they pass a Dodge Roll, either Normal or Face to Face. In this case, the Trooper must leave Silhouette contact, moving up to 2 inches to separate themselves from the enemy.

If they cannot move to a valid position that is outside Silhouette contact, the Trooper will remain in Engaged State without moving.
