Tactical Utility: This asset is a specialized force multiplier that directly lowers the "break point" of enemy infantry. Mechanically, Courage serves as the threshold for the Shaken status; by reducing this value by 1, the opponent’s units require fewer cumulative wounds to suffer the -1 Command Roll penalty. This is particularly effective against high-Courage elite infantry, as it brings their mental resilience down to standard levels, making it significantly easier to disrupt their action economy and restrict them to Simple Actions.
Best Practices: At only 15 points, this is a high-efficiency "setup" card. It should be activated early in a round before resolving high-volume fire or area-of-effect attacks like an Artillery Barrage. By layering this aura over a contested objective, you create a zone where even incidental fire can trigger a Shaken result, forcing the opponent to spend Action Points on the Rally action rather than offensive maneuvers. Because the availability roll is a 5+, it is statistically reliable; avoid spending Tactical Points on this card unless you are attempting to break a specific "anchor" unit to seize a game-winning objective in the final round.
