Is it possible to Forward Observe for a Grenade Launcher?

QUOTE (Infinity Wiki)

Forward Observers can mark a target, allowing any other miniature on their side without LoF (And with a weapon that allows Speculative Shot or equipped with Guided Special Ammunition) to be able to attack that target at distance.


Just trying to figure that out.

:ph43r: Also, in a "What If?" scenario, could an Auxilia's Auxbot then Forward Observe for the Auxbot of a Guarda de Assaulta? :ph43r:

That's a lot o' bot.

Yes.

This is part of what makes GLs in Fireteams so potent. +3 BS, +3 range, cancels out the -6 from spec shot already. Add in the FO and start dropping grenades on people's heads.

FO isn't just for GML.

Good to know. But can the auxbot forward observe then? I know it it Ghosted, so that was why I reasoned that it could.


EDIT: Additionally, in the Devil Team army builder, under the listing for Auxilia/Auxbot, both are designated (Forward Observer) so I guess I know the answer to my question.

Yes.
