Tactical Points (TP) define a finite resource utilized to manipulate individual die results during the resolution of mechanical checks. Every player receives an initial allocation of Tactical Points during the pre-game Setup sequence. The numerical quantity of this pool is determined by the numerical value of the printed Command Value on the Faction Profile. A Faction possessing a Command Value of 6+ initiates the Match with a pool of exactly 6 Tactical Points. At no point during the engagement is a player authorized to possess a total quantity of Tactical Points exceeding this initial starting value.
The expenditure of Tactical Points grants the player direct authority over the final result of a single six-sided (d6) die cast. This interaction is resolved after a Dice Pool has been cast but prior to the application of the resulting values to the game state. A player is authorized to expend exactly 1 Tactical Point to override the current facing of any single die and change it to a facing of 6. This modification capability applies to all forms of resolution, including Attack Rolls, Save Rolls, and Command Rolls, unless a specific rule explicitly prohibits the use of resources for that check. Players maintain the capacity to expend multiple Tactical Points within a single resolution window to modify multiple individual dice.
- A Tactical Point is removed from the player’s active pool immediately upon expenditure.
- The modification of die results via Tactical Points occurs only after all relevant situational Modifiers have been applied to determine the final Hit requirement or success threshold.
- While specialized abilities or Mission Card triggers may generate additional Tactical Points during the Match, the current pool size remains subject to the maximum limit established by the starting allocation.
