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. 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.
