Tac Ops
Sweep & Clear
Seek And DestroyReveal: The first time an enemy operative is incapacitated while contesting an objective marker, or the first time a friendly operative performs the Clear action (whichever comes first).
Additional Rules:
When an enemy operative that contests an objective marker is incapacitated, that objective marker gains one of your Swept tokens (if it doesn't already have one) until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase.
Mission Action: Clear (1 AP)
- An objective marker the active operative controls is cleared for the turning point.
- An operative cannot perform this action during the first turning point, or while within control range of an enemy operative.
Victory Points:
- At the end of each turning point after the first, if friendly operatives control any objective markers that have one of your Swept tokens, you score 1VP.
