Tac Ops

Tac Ops are secondary objectives that you can attempt to achieve in certain battles to earn victory points. They are selectable, allowing you to have a degree of control over what objectives you will attempt to achieve. They are also categorised by archetype (e.g. Seek and Destroy). Your mission sequence will specify what category you can use and how to select your Tac Ops from that category.

Each Tac Op is kept secret until it is revealed, and it will specify when it should be revealed. Each has two conditions, marked with bullet points, that you can attempt to complete. You can score VPs from each condition once, and you cannot score VPs from a condition before that Tac Op is revealed. If a Tac Op instructs you to secretly select something, make a note of it on your roster so that your selection is recorded.

Actions
Actions are categorised as follows:
  • Universal actions can be performed by all operatives. They are detailed below.
  • Unique actions are actions detailed on an operative’s datacard that only they can perform, such as the Dakka Dash action found on the example datacard.
  • Mission actions are specific to the mission you are playing, and will be detailed by that mission’s briefing. Missions can be found here (Open Play mission) and here (Spec Ops Narrative missions).
  • Free actions can only be performed when another rule specifies. Each time an operative would perform a free action, the following rules apply.
    • The operative can perform the action, so long as the requirements of the action are met.
    • The player does not subtract any additional AP to perform the action.
    • The operative would still count as performing the action for all rules purposes. For example, if it performed it during its activation, it would not be able to perform the action again during that activation.

For example, when a KOMMANDO DAKKA BOY performs a Dakka Dash action (see unique actions, above), it can perform a free Dash and free Shoot action without subtracting any additional AP (other than the AP spent on the Dakka Dash action). However, it is subject to those actions’ requirements, therefore it cannot perform the free Dash action if it is within Engagement Range of enemy operatives, and cannot perform the free Shoot action if it is within Engagement Range of enemy operatives or has a Conceal order. In addition, for each of the free actions it performs, it cannot perform them again during its activation.
