A Special Action defines a Simple Action that authorizes a Unit to resolve certain abilities specified by external game mechanic or Mission Card conditions. Resolution of this Action requires the expenditure of exactly 1 Action Point. Upon declaration, the player must identify the specific Support Card, Mission Card objective, or Transport interaction being utilized. This Action provides no inherent traversal distance to the activating Unit. Any movement resolved during this sequence must be explicitly authorized by the rules text of the governing Support Card or Mission Card.
- If a Special Action involves the disembarkation of Units from a Transport, those Units are placed within the Play Area according to the specific Transport rules.
- The technical requirements, engagement Range, and resolution parameters of a Special Action are governed by the rules text of the governing card or Objective Token.
