Night Fight scenarios- Spotting targets before or after advance

[Rich Gman]

In a Night Fight scenario, does your unit advanced (moved) first then make the spotting roll before firing? Or do you spot the target first before you advance you unit?

I’ve seen players on Youtube spot after their unit advanced (moved).

“If the target would be visible according to the normal rules, then start the normal shooting procedure and declare the target.”

Thank you

The shooting procedure is separate to and after the movement in an advance – I’d say they played it right.

Further to my last- timing of the spotting test – “… start the normal shooting procedure and declare the target.  Then, before the ‘target reacts’ step…”.

Sequence would be:

Draw die and assign ‘Advance’ order to your unit.
Order test if required.
Complete movement part of ‘Advance’.
Declare target for shooting part of ‘Advance’.
Complete spotting roll for night fighting rules.
Carry on from ‘target reacts’ if passed, end activation if failed.
