FAQs & Errata
N4 FAQ
Version: 1.1.1, Dec 2021
Q: Are Tactical Awareness Orders generated if a Trooper is off-table during the Order count? For example via Airborne Deployment or Hidden Deployment?
A: No. The second bullet of Tactical Awareness states that the Trooper must be on the game table as a Model or Marker, and Airborne Deployment or Hidden Deployment Troops aren’t.
