Here's a question: Can you declare an ARO for which you do not meet the requirements, but might after the next short skill is declared?
Here's an example of what I mean: Trooper A, who has sixth sense lvl 2, is standing inside a smoke template when Trooper B moves within is zone of control with his first short skill. Trooper B does not have stealth, so Trooper A gets to react to his movement, but cannot see him because of the smoke.
Trooper B is also equipped with MSV lvl 2. Trooper A knows this and, if he was reacting to a BS attack, could shoot back thanks to sixth sense. But he as to declare before trooper B's next short skill.
So, can Trooper A declare a BS attack, anticipating that trooper B will shoot him with his next short skill, even if he does not meet the requirements for it at the time of ARO declaration (no LoF)? If he can, I would assume he would lose his ARO if trooper B opted to not shoot him with his second short skill.
This did not actually happen to me but I was just thinking about it today and figured I would ask what people thought.
