Infinity General: OP keeps messing up edition

It's in the N3 core book

Bro, I feel your pain. I'm in the Tampa area. Had a friend and my cousin. Both went back to 40k and now Dust.

I really wanna pick up Red Veil from GameNerdz or the USAriadna army pack from MM for $50.

I've got plenty of armies. No one to play with. Sold my ALEPH and my PanO. The latter I am starting to regret with some of the goodies they are getting.

I'm in tampabay area

Want to get the Red Veil myself, because Yujing was always my first choice, but I bought a few units for pano already (like the limited Joan and a Croc). Plus I have no intent on playing Haq

You wanna like play or something?

I would put this shit together within a week if that were the case

Put it together. Bring it to a gaming store. Run demos. Anyone walks in and glances at the table, get them to play a demo.

Definitely man. You know where Armada is? Red Veil is too much of a good deal to not get, that's why it's a hard choice haha.

Start getting your stuff together. Don't worry about being fully painted.

I sure do, been there plenty of times.

here's my email, feel free to drop me a line

Glad I wandered into a thread for a game I've only ever demo'd once. Definitely motivates me to get my painting shit together.

Sweet. Already did.

So as a brand new player I have some questions about ARO's. According to the rules on the website

When the Active Player declares the first Skill of an Order, and before he can declare the second, both players check to see if any of the Reactive Player's troopers can react with an ARO (Automatic Reaction Order).
All of the Reactive Player's troopers that have Line of Fire to (that is, they can 'see') the trooper that is using the Order, may declare one of these AROs:
BS Attack
Close Combat Attack
Dodge

Does this mean that you can only declare ARO's on the movement because it's the first "skill" of the order. If that's the case wouldn't there not be a face to face roll If the second skill of the action was a BS attack. With both attacks happening at different times? Something about ARO's in this game is confusing the hell out of me.

Declaring and resolving are different matters, it goes:

1. Active player declares first short skill (movement and ONLY movement gets executed with the declaration)
2. Reactive player declares any AROs
3. Active player declares second short skill
4. Reactive player declares any new AROs (but any models that could ARO at step 2 and didn't lose the chance)
5. Resolve all declared actions that weren't movement by making necessary rolls

So, even though the reactive player is declaring his shots first, he waits till all declarations are finalized before resolving it simultaneously, thus the face to face roll.

So on the activation of the second short skill all models that couldn't make an ARO due to distance LOS etc can declare one. But the troopers that have already declared ARO's cannot make a second. After which all ARO's are resolved

So what if during movement the active trooper moves behind full cover, and the reactive trooper makes a BS attack. Would the ARO still go off?
