Yes, it is obligatory.

Can you delay the ARO with a trooper in Hidden

Deployment?

Celestial Guard. Could the Celestial Guard declare an ARO
against Auxilia now?

No, because the Auxilia and the Auxbot generated a

single ARO as they possess the G: Synchronized Special
Skill. Therefore, as the Celestial Guard has decided not to
declare his ARO after the first Short Skill, he has lost the
ability to declare any ARO against that Order.

LINE OF FIRE
In Infinity, troops have a LoF angle of 180˚, that is, they
can see targets that are at least partially in their front
arc. Players should clearly mark the limits of that arc on
their troops’ bases.

For a troop to be able to draw LoF to its target, it must

meet the following conditions:
Both troops have LoF.
• The target must be wholly or partially within the
troop’s front 180˚ arc, unless a Special Skill or piece
of Equipment ignores this restriction.

• The troop must be able to see, at least, a part of

the volume of its target with the size of the target’s
head, or a minimum size of approximately 3x3mm
