Raider... so the other player can see them all the time?

So I was talking to my friend, we finally played advanced rules. Apparently he can see the 'chit' all the time!

I suppose if actually playing f2f on a board game you would be able to do that too... the more that I think about it, it's not a bad thing.

So I presume mines would be the same way?

it could be a decoy or a scout or a dreadnought

its just how the game works. how else would you be able to play? telepathically?

Only after they are revealed. If they end a turn on one of your colonies they turn back to hidden. Each chit will tell you if it is "hidden" or "revealed" to your opponent.

Yes, you can see every group, you just don't know what it is until revealed.

Even then Raiders can avoid battle and retreat before it if there are no scanners. Think that they can track where they are in general, but not exactly where they are. You need Scanners to force them to decloack.

Yeah I was being dumb, I've played the game f2f enough I should have known better.

It's the threat that's the problem for the opponent. Thanks frens!
