Each Friendly Character is double-sided and shows the Character as either Hidden or Spotted. Each scenario will specify whether Characters are Hidden or Spotted at the beginning of a scenario. Hidden Friendly Characters may become Spotted by an Enemy Character for a variety of reasons [see Rule 12.0]. Spotted Characters may become Hidden if they have a Hide Order, they are in cover and they pass a TQC at the end of the turn. Note: The default for Friendly Characters is always Hidden. Future scenarios may specify otherwise.
