[LSJ] Hidden Lurker and guns

[Ethan Burrow]

I actually performed a search on Deja News and Rulemonger and didn't
find any ruling on this. I'm surprised as surely it must have come up
before...<g>

Hidden Lurker states that the opposing minion cannot use any strikes.
If the opposing minion has a gun, can they maneuver with the gun?

The argument is whether the manuever from the gun, which indicates an
intent to strike with the gun, is the same as a strike; or if the strike
would fizzle after the maneuver since you can't strike.

Thanks.

Careful with Dejanews - it only searches "recent" posts by default.
A search of "past" posts for "hidden lurker maneuver" yielded the
following message at the top of the list:

But a thousand thanks for trying to find your answers there first. :-)

You cannot maneuver with a strike (or weapon) if you can't strike.
