Inconspicuous & Fire Support

[MLarsen]

Arc Trooper Unit w/ sniper, sniper has other eligible targets and shoots at them, the rest of the unit does not and uses their range 3 guns to shoot @ the ewok unit with Inconspicuous, Clone trooper A with a Z-6 fire supports the range 3 shot but is also at range 3 of the unit that the sniper shot, would he have to add the fire support shot to the sniper if he did due to inconspicuous  and target selection? Thanks.

Hello,

A unit may use the Fire Support keyword to add its eligible weapons to an attack pool  of a ranged attack targeting a unit affected by the Inconspicuous keyword.

As they (the unit with Fire Support) are not performing an attack, they are not affected by the Inconspicuous keyword, only the unit initially declaring and performing the attack is so restricted.

The Clone Trooper unit and it's Z-6 trooper may indeed use Fire Support to add their weapons' attack dice and keywords to the ARC Troopers' ranged attack pool, regardless of the presence of other enemy units at range 3 and LOS of them without the Inconspicuous keyword.

Hope this helps,
