I've Oksana (finally). She may have an equipment of Voivode, so all Voivodes under Oksana's controll share it.
Now: if Oksana has Stroboscopic Lamp, is the CV -2 penalty cumulative for each Voivode on the same path?
In theory it's cumulative (more Voivodes, more flashes in the eyes), but it should be unplayable... I figure four Voivodes on the same path, oh my God: CV -8! Only the grenades can make damages.
Which is your opinion?
We use that ability as only -2 once... It is way too overpowered if cumulative I think. The -2 is enough to make it worthwhile for at least half of the voivodes you are fielding!

I think so too
Is it? every faction has workarounds for that, be it grenades, out of path mental attaks or whatever... Also take into account that it affects your own team as well.
Having oksana equip that token would mean that voivoves do not repair each other which is an added handicap versus the normal oksana set up.
I would not squeeze 4 voivodes in a path, it makes them vulnerable to area effects but having them in pairs is also a good bet, a -4 to combat is usually enough to drive the success objective up to 9-10.

mmm... I don't know.... mmm... I must think about that.
The question is not whether it is overpowered or not, the question is: Is it cumulative? Regarding the way the Strobo lamp ability is worded and regarding the rules dealing with Oksana's token (Every Voivode gets the ability.), I think it's meant to be cumulative. Otherwise, it should be noted somewhere in the rules for Strobo lamp. Maybe it's another question somebody should ask FFG, they'll rule it one way or the other.

Oh my God, don't make it please... I like to konw your opinions to value and disccuss them, I don't trust so much in the "official" answers.
Well i believe there is no problem with it being accumulative, since both teams are ****** up anyway and there are many ways to deal with this as people said before.
@Otar: You are right.
@Carlos: After reading the latest official answers here on this forum, I think you are right, too!
