Hidden Infantry & TAG
« on: 30 January 2018, 18:29:25 »
This came up in our last TT game though no one was using it so it had no impact.

Hidden infantry can spot without revealing themselves which makes them about the best spotters for IDF and artillery adjustment around.  Infantry can also carry TAG which can be used to 'spot' for IDF and artillery.

Does firing TAG mean Hidden Infantry have to reveal themselves?

I would assume the answer based off of this ruling is yes.

But since the TAG is done in the Artillery phase, they technically would get one shot off before everyone in range opened up on them.
