Special Operations Missions Directive To perform these missions Troops must be led by the Commander, Commissar or Sergeant. -Dropship Attack: Up to 3 troops can by “Jumped” into any area on the battlefield for a surprise attack and can be “Jumped” out on the next turn. Can only be done once. -Hit & Run: This tactic depends on the transport. A # of troops can be transported within the range of the transport, jump out and attack an enemy position then pull back into the transport to leave for a “Hit & Run” attack. Skill Specialties *Space Marines can only have 1 Skill Specialty Jump Troops-See Dropship Attack for definition. Infiltrators-Double Movement Rate Sergeants-Double Damage Comm-Radio-Troop- Acts as Radio Liaison between Commander and Base. *Normal Infantry can perform this skill as well.

Battle Tactics Charge-A squad, vehicle or trooper may charge an enemy once every other turn. Charges double the movement rate of the unit but the charge must end in within 1” of the enemy being charged. Kamikaze-A trooper can go mad, charge then attack twice in one turn but will die from a brain explosion at the end of that turn.

Squad Combat & Movement Troops grouped together on Movement Trays may fight as one unit. The entire squad rolls for morale 1 time, but each troop in the squad rolls for attack. Example: 1 Sergeant and 3 Elite Troopers are grouped together in a squad on a movement tray. They all move together their full movement rate, except over terrain. They front of the tray must face the enemy in order for the group to attack. The entire squad attacks one target at a time, then each unit within the squad rolls for attack. So if there are 4 units in the squad tray then they will roll 4 attack rolls on a 1d10. There is NO squad damage, each unit takes damage individually as it is targeted by the enemy. If the Sergeant or Squad Leader dies then the squad automatically breaks up into individual units again and the movement tray must be removed.
