Purity Seals
Once per turning point, when a friendly PHOBOS STRIKE TEAM operative is shooting, fighting or retaliating, if you roll two or more fails, you can discard one of them to retain another as a normal success instead.

Ploys
And They Shall Know No Fear
Strategy PloyYou can ignore any changes to the stats of friendly PHOBOS STRIKE TEAM operatives from being injured (including their weapons' stats).
Deadly Shots
Strategy PloyWhenever a friendly PHOBOS STRIKE TEAM operative is shooting during an activation in which it has not performed the Charge, Fall Back or Reposition action, or against an operative that is not in cover and is more than 6" from it, that friendly operative's ranged weapons have the Balanced weapon rule.
Note that for the first requirement, that operative is not restricted from performing those actions after shooting.
Balanced: Can re-roll one Attack die.
Guerrila Warfare
Strategy PloyFriendly PHOBOS STRIKE TEAM operatives can perform the following unique action:
Guerrila Warfare (1 AP): Change this operative’s order.
An operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative.
Lethal Assaults
Strategy PloyWhenever a friendly PHOBOS STRIKE TEAM operative is fighting, its melee weapons have the Balanced weapon rule.
If that friendly operative is doing so during an activation in which it performed the Charge action, its melee weapons also have the Lethal 5+ weapon rule.
Balanced: Can re-roll one Attack die.
Critical Shot

Patient Ambush
Firefight PloyUse this firefight ploy when it is your turn to activate a friendly operative. You can skip that activation.
Stealth Assault
Firefight PloyUse this firefight ploy when a friendly PHOBOS STRIKE TEAM operative that has a Conceal order is activated, is given an Engage order, performs the Charge and then the Fight action, and you’re resolving your first attack dice from this activation. After doing so, you can immediately resolve another of your attack dice (before your opponent). The operative cannot have performed any other actions during this activation (but can do so after resolving this ploy).

Tac Ops

Victory Points:
At the end of each turning point after the first:
- If one enemy operative is being tracked, you score 1VP, or 2VP instead if it's the fourth turning point.
- If two or more enemy operatives are being tracked, you score 2VP.
You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.
Plant Devices

Mission Action: Plant Device (1 AP)
- One objective marker the active operative controls gains one of your Device tokens.
- An operative cannot perform this action during the first turning point, while within control range of an enemy operative, or if that objective marker already has one of your Device tokens.

- If your opponent's objective marker has one of your Device tokens, you score 1VP.
- For each other objective marker enemy operatives contest that has one of your Device tokens, you score 1VP.

Steal Intelligence

Additional Rules:
Whenever an enemy operative is incapacitated, before it's removed from the killzone, place one of your Intelligence mission markers within its control range.
Friendly operatives can perform the Pick Up Marker action on your Intelligence mission markers, and for the purposes of that action's conditions, ignore the first Intelligence mission marker the active operative is carrying. In other words, each friendly operative can carry up to two Intelligence mission markers, or one and one other marker.
Victory Points:
At the end of each turning point after the first, if any friendly operatives are carrying any of your Intelligence mission markers, you score 1VP.
At the end of the battle, for each of your Intelligence mission markers friendly operatives are carrying, you score 1VP.
Flank
ReconReveal: As a STRATEGIC GAMBIT.
Additional Rules:
Divide the killzone into two flanks (left and right) by drawing an imaginary line that's just like the centreline, except it runs from the centre of each player's killzone edge. An operative contests a flank while both wholly within it and wholly within their opponent's territory. Friendly operatives control a flank if the total APL stat of those contesting it is greater than that of enemy operatives.
Victory Points:
- After you reveal this op, at the end of each turning point after the first, for each flank friendly operatives control, you score 1VP.
- In the fourth turning point, ff friendly operatives also controlled that flank at the end of the third turning point, you score 2VP instead.
You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.
Retrieval
ReconReveal: The first time you score VP from this op.
Mission Action: Retrieve (1 AP)
- If the active operative controls an objective marker that hasn't been searched by friendly operatives, that operative is now carrying one of your Retrieval mission markers and that objective marker has been searched by friendly operatives. Friendly operatives can perform the Pick Up Marker action on your Retrieval mission markers.
- An operative cannot perform this action during the first turning point, while within control range of an enemy operative, or if it's already carrying a marker.
Victory Points:
- The first time each objective marker is searched by friendly operatives, you score 1VP.
- At the end of the battle, for each of your Retrieval mission markers friendly operatives are carrying, you score 1VP.
Scout Enemy Movement

Mission Action: Scout (1 AP)
- Select one ready enemy operative visible to and more than 6" from the active operative. That enemy operative is now monitored until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase.
- An operative cannot perform this action while it has an Engage order, 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, for each monitored enemy operative that's visible to friendly operatives, you score 1VP. Note that it doesn't have to be a friendly operative that performed the Scout action.
You cannot score more than 2VP from this op per turning point.
