This equipment allows you to select two items from universal equipment. If you select Explosive Grenades, whenever an operative is using a frag or krak grenade, improve the Hit stat of that weapon by 1.

Once per turning point, when a friendly COMPANY HEROES operative is performing the Fight or Shoot action, you can use this rule. If you do, until the end of the turning point, its weapons have the Punishing weapon rule.

Once per turning point, during a friendly COMPANY HEROES operative’s activation, you can use this rule. If you do, during that activation, that operative can perform a mission action for 1 less AP.

Once per turning point, when a friendly COMPANY HEROES operative is fighting or retaliating, after your opponent rolls their attack dice, you can use this rule. If you do, your opponent cannot retain attack dice results of less than 6 as critical successes during that sequence (e.g. as a result of the Lethal, Rending or Severe weapon rules).

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Ammo Cache markers wholly within your territory. Friendly operatives can perform the following mission action during the battle: AMMO RESUPPLY (0 AP): One of your Ammo Cache markers the active operative controls is used during this turning point.

Until the start of the next turning point, whenever this operative is shooting with a weapon from its datacard, you can re-roll one of your attack dice.

An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, if that marker is not yours, or if that marker has been used this turning point.

Razor wire is Exposed and Obstructing terrain. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

Obstructing: Whenever an operative would cross over this terrain feature within 1" of it, treat the distance as an additional 1".

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Comms Device markers wholly within your territory. While a friendly operative controls this marker, add 3" to the distance requirements of its SUPPORT rules that refer to friendly operatives (e.g. ‘select one friendly operative within 6"’ would be 9" instead). Note that you cannot benefit from your opponent's Comms Device markers.

Before the battle, you can set up one of your Mines markers wholly within your territory and more than 2" from other markers, access points, and Accessible terrain. The first time that marker is within an operative's control range, remove that marker and inflict D3+3 damage on that operative.

Light barricades are Light terrain, except the feet, which are Insignificant and Exposed. Before the battle, you can set up any of them wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

A heavy barricade is Heavy terrain. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within 4" of your drop zone, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

Ladders are Insignificant and Exposed terrain. Before the battle, you can set up any of them as follows:

• Wholly within your territory.
• Upright against terrain that’s at least 2" tall.
• More than 2" from other equipment terrain features.
• More than 1" from doors and access points.

Once per action, whenever an operative is climbing the terrain feature a ladder is placed against, treat the vertical distance as 1" if the ladder is within that operative’s control range during that entire climb.

A portable barricade is Light, Protective and Portable terrain, except the feet which are Insignificant and Exposed. Before the battle, you can set it up wholly within your territory, on the killzone floor and more than 2" from other equipment terrain features, access points, and Accessible terrain.

Protective: While an operative is in cover from this terrain feature, improve its Save stat by 1 (to a maximum of 2+).

Portable: This terrain feature only provides cover while an operative is connected to it and if the shield is intervening (ignore its feet). Operatives connected to the inside of it can perform the following unique action during the battle:

Move With Barricade (1 AP): The same as the Reposition action, except the active operative can move no more than its Move stat minus 2" and cannot climb, drop, jump, or use any killteam's rules that remove it and set it back up again (e.gh. HEARTHKYN SALVAGER Fly, MANDRAKE Shadow Passage).

Before this operative moves, remove the portable barricade it is connected to. After it moves, set up the portable barricade so it is connected again, but the portable barricade cannot be set up within 2" of other equipment terrain features, access points or Accessible terrain. If this is not possible, the portable barricade is not set up again.

This action is treated as a Reposition action. An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or in the same activation in which it performed the Fall Back or Charge action.

When you select this equipment, select two utility grenades (2 smoke, 2 stun, or 1 smoke and 1 stun). Each selection is a unique action your operatives can perform, but your kill team can only perform that action a total number of times during the battle equal to your selection.

SMOKE GRENADE (1 AP):

• Place one of your Smoke Grenade markers within 6" of this operative. It must be visible to this operative, or on Vantage terrain of a terrain feature that is visible to this operative. The marker creates an area of smoke 1" horizontally and unlimited height vertically from (but not below) it.
• While an operative is wholly within an area of smoke, it is obscured to operatives more than 2" from it, and vice versa. In addition, whenever an operative is shooting an enemy operative wholly within an area of smoke, weapons with the Piercing 2 or Piercing Crits 2 weapon rule have the Piercing 1 or Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule (respectively) instead, unless they’re within 2" of each other.
• In the Ready step of the next Strategy phase, roll one D3. Remove that Smoke Grenade marker after a number of activations equal to that D3 have been completed or at the end of the turning point (whichever comes first).
• An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or if you have reached the total number of times your kill team can perform it.

When you select this equipment, select two utility grenades (2 smoke, 2 stun, or 1 smoke and 1 stun). Each selection is a unique action your operatives can perform, but your kill team can only perform that action a total number of times during the battle equal to your selection.

STUN GRENADE (1 AP):

• Select one enemy operative visible to and within 6" of this operative. That operative and each other operative within 1" of it takes a stun test. For an operative to take a stun test, roll one D6: on a 3+, subtract 1 from its APL stat until the end of its next activation.
• An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, or if you have reached the total number of times your kill team can perform it.

When you select this equipment, select two explosive grenades (2 frag, 2 krak, or 1 frag and 1 krak).

When you select this equipment, select two explosive grenades (2 frag, 2 krak, or 1 frag and 1 krak).

Once per battle, when a friendly operative performs the Breach action, you can use this rule. If you do, that operative can perform that action for 1 less AP (to a minimum of 1AP) as though it had the word "breach marker" on its datacard.

Use this firefight ploy when an injured friendly COMPANY HEROES operative is activated. It regains up to D3+1 lost wounds, and during that activation you can ignore any changes to its APL stat.

Use this firefight ploy before or during an action in a friendly COMPANY HEROES operative's activation, it can perform this action during its activation.

SQUAD TACTICS (1AP)

SUPPORT: Select one friendly COMPANY HEROES operative visible to and within 6" of this operative. That selected operative can immediately perform a 1AP action for free; it cannot move more than 2" during that action. This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative.

Use this firefight ploy when a friendly COMPANY ANCIENT or COMPANY CAPTAIN operative is selected as the valid target of a Shoot action or to fight against during the Fight action. Select one other friendly COMPANY HEROES operative (excluding COMPANY ANCIENT and COMPANY CAPTAIN) visible to and within 3” of that first friendly operative to become the valid target or to be fought against (as appropriate) instead (even if it wouldn’t normally be valid for this).

If it’s the Fight action, treat that other operative as being within the fighting operative’s control range for the duration of that action. If it’s the Shoot action, that other operative is only in cover or obscured if the original target was.

This ploy has no effect if it’s the Shoot action and the ranged weapon has the Blast or Torrent weapon rule.

Use this firefight ploy whenever you’re selecting a valid target for a friendly COMPANY HEROES operative. Enemy operatives within 4" of it cannot be obscured or in cover (instead of 2"). While this can allow such operatives to be targeted (assuming they’re visible), it doesn’t remove their cover save (if any), unless the friendly COMPANY HEROES operative is within 2" as normal.

Select one objective marker or one of your mission markers:

Whenever a friendly COMPANY HEROES operative is shooting, fighting or retaliating, if either the attacker or defender is within control range of that marker, its weapons gain the Ceaseless weapon rule.

Whenever a friendly COMPANY HEROES operative is within control range of an objective marker or one of your mission markers:

Normal Dmg of 3 or more inflicts 1 less damage on it. If that friendly operative is injured, instead, both Normal or Critical Dmg of 3 or more inflicts 1 less damage on it.

Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly COMPANY HEROES operative, weapons with the Piercing 1 weapon rule have the Piercing Crits 1 weapon rule instead.

You can ignore any changes to the stats of friendly COMPANY HEROES operatives from being injured (including their weapons’ stats).
