Personally I don't think this is a question worth asking, but that is
not entirely my judgement to make, so it is offered here for
discussion at least, and can be abandoned if seen fit.

Background:
Guard clearly states it may be used during the OLs turn and not during
a hero's turn.

However the FAQ pg7 answer states that the Guard can be used to
"interrupt the OL at *any* time".

At least one player therefore believe that this answer overrides the
original rules and a Guard order may therefore be used during a heroes
turn to attack a mimic for example.

We all know he is wrong, but he does have a technical point.|

Ideally therefore, this answer should be edited to say "...interrupt
the OL at any time *during his turn*. ..."

That and/or we specifically ask whether a guard order may be used on a
mimic during it's initial activation, which I think is a specific
question trying to address a generality.

I like the premise of amending the FAQ.  It's best to keep the FAQ consistent with the rules if there's no reason to set up a discrepancy.

Agreed. I think perhaps the best way to do this one is give the background and instead of a Q&A make a proposal to edit the existing FAQ question as suggested below.

Now GLOAQed (the original Guard+Mimic question).

Not sure if it is still worth asking to amen the FAQ or not - probably
worthwhile I guess.

Possibly with a better-worded answer?  Kevin's answer freely tosses about pronouns...
