Blackout ( Β )

You may play this card at the beginning of any round, before rolling for Priority.

Blazing Fury ( Β )

You may play this card when activating a fighter.

For the duration of this fighter's activation they treat the Shoot action as Simple rather than Basic or Double (in the case of an Unwieldy weapon), and do not roll Firepower dice when making a Shoot action.

Crossfire ( Γ )

You may play this card when a fighter makes a ranged attack against a target who has already been shot at by a friendly fighter, instead of rolling to hit.

Do not roll to hit for this fighter's ranged attack, but do roll Firepower dice as normal. The ranged attack automatically hits.

You may play this card instead of activating a fighter.

Ductways cannot be used for the duration of this round; they are treated as not being on the battlefield at all.

For the duration of the battle ranged attacks made by your fighters only trigger an Ammo check if the Firepower dice rolls an Ammo symbol and the hit roll is a success.

Healthy Paranoia ( Γ )

You may play this card on a fighter when they are set up on the battlefield. Tuck this under that fighter's card.

For the remainder of the battle if a Hidden enemy fighter moves within 12'' and line of sight of this fighter that enemy fighter's action ends immediately, this fighter stops being a Sentry (if relevant), gets a Ready marker if they do not already have one, and this fighter may activate immediately.

Lead by Example ( Α )

You may play this card when the Leader of your gang takes an enemy fighter Out of Action.

You may play this card during the Pick Weapons step of the close combat sequence when one of your gang's fighters is making a close combat attack.

Legend

Tactics Cards vary in impact, and are categorized accordingly into three Tiers: Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. Additionally, some Tactics Cards are marked with a symbol indicating the card may only be taken in certain circumstances; these are described below:

Α : Alpha Tier

Some Tactics Cards are very situational but can have a major effect upon a battle when applicable, while others introduce something into play on the battlefield that can change the game state in a dramatic way, and still others affect many fighters simultaneously, and so on. Well timed usage of most Alpha Tier Tactics Cards has the potential to swing a battle. In some campaign types, how many Alpha Tier Tactics Cards a gang is permitted to take in their Tactics Cards decks is restricted.

Β : Beta Tier

Some Tactics Cards are specialized, strong but narrow in their application, or simply in between the power level of Alpha Tier and Gamma Tier cards. In particular, Beta Tier Tactics Cards often help specific gang fighters push their speciality or fulfill a role for their gang. Other Beta Tier Tactics Cards can help a gang cover a gap in their tactical capabilities, or grant some form of action advantage, or mitigate particularly bad outcomes. In some campaign types, how many Beta Tier Tactics Cards a gang is permitted to take in their Tactics Cards decks is restricted.

Γ : Gamma Tier

Some Tactics Cards are generally applicable, easy to play, consistent in what they offer; the majority of Tactics Cards fall into this category. While not as dramatic as Alpha Tier cards, or as specialized as Beta Tier cards, these Tactics Cards are reliable and flexible.

Ω : Zone Mortalis Only

Some Tactics Cards are only applicable for the twisting tunnels, locked doorks, ductways, and pitfalls of Zone Mortalis battlefields or hybrid battlefields that include such features.

≠ : Sector Mechanicus Only

Some Tactics Cards are only applicable for the multi-leveled verticality of Sector Mechanicus battlefields or hybrid battlefields that include such features.

Φ : Skirmish Only

Some Tactics Cards are not appropriate for campaign play, and should only be used for skirmishes.

Ψ : Campaign Only

Some Tactics Cards only make sense during campaign play where fighters and gangs evolve over multiple battles, and thus have no relevance to skirmish battles.
