IHMN. About the Edison Beam Tanslocator...

[Mr. Peabody]

Is this a 'personal' item that only one person carries and uses, or is the idea to set it near an Arc Generator and gradually shunt members of a Company into action?

[Dewbakuk]

Personal item.

[Mr. Peabody]

Ta.

No red-shirted Scots engineers boldly beaming folk about in that case...

[Dewbakuk]

No afraid not. You can however have a 'redshirt' who keeps beaming himself into the operating area for the enemy arc generator though. His Beam Translocator can then steal the enemies power to jump him away next turn 

Don't have the book with me to double check but I assume you can shoot after using it? Beam in, drop grenades, steal arc power, jump away....

[Mr. Peabody]

Clever! And suitably risky for a red-shirt, so I like it.
