Seed Soldiers

[Lone_Pathfinder]

Seed Embryos have size S0 = size of a base.

Seed Embryos deploy as camo markers.

Camouflage Markers concealing a weapon or a piece of Equipment have a Silhouette (S) value of 2.

When a enemy discovers a Seed Embryo hiding under a camo marker it reduces to size S0.

If the Seed Embryo is behind a moped, discoverable as camo token S2 and is subsequently reduced to S0 when discovered, the enemy performing the discovering can no longer see the Seed Embryo behind the moped.

Now what happens is the same Seed Embryo is a camo token and is hidden behind a moped, and a AD troop jumps down on the other side of the moped (but more than 8" from the marker of the Seed Embryo). Can the Seed Embryo hatch as an ARO?

Yes: because the Camo Token is S2 using rule of reciprocation
No: because the Seed Embryo is S0

Camouflage Markers concealing a weapon or a piece of Equipment have a Silhouette (S) value of 2.

The Seed-Embryo isn't a weapon nor a piece of equipment but a unit profile, so the camo marker would have to have S 0.

So we will need to wait until the next book to find out if a Seed Embryo is "Concealed"?

Although you could consider the Embryo to be a piece of organic equipment...

In the mean time, the S0 Camo token can only be a Seed Embryo...

[Harlekin]

True. So true...
So much for CB's playtesting. Again. -_-

I think Pierzasty has the right of it.

Camouflage tokens that are not deployable equipment or weapon inherit the Silhouette category of the profile the Camouflage token is hiding.

Seed Embryos, being S2, hidden under a Camouflage token will show the Camouflage token as S0.

If the Seed Embryo Camouflage Token (S0) can see the AD troop drop in, then the embryo can hatch.
