Again on reaction fire

<< < (13/14) > >>

H-Hour:
This is how reaction fire works already. The only difference is that when a unit can no longer see a target the counter is reset.

kurja:
I just had a soldier on reaction fire, an alien turned up and fired, and after it had done so, a soldier took reaction fire. Alien took no action (spent no TU's) after rf had taken place. This goes against my understanding of rf, I though rf was supposed to happen first? Is there an exception to order of actions if TU cost=TU threshold for RF or something like that?

Noticed the same. Aliens steps out, walks two grids, fires PB-Rifle, soldiers fires back with Plasma Blaster. Alien dies, Soldier dies from wounds.

Yes, this is exactly what I meant: if the reset is disabled, RF would be more coherent with reality, with the expected behaviour of RF from the users.

Maybe it's actually the act of alien shooting first that counted for TU spent that triggered RF? But I can understand how in such situation RF may seem a tad silly and achieving little (though it's always one less alien to be shot by someone else).
