Blazing Fury
You may play this card when activating a fighter.
For the duration of this fighter's activation they treat the Shoot action as Simple rather than Basic or Double (in the case of an Unwieldy weapon), and do not roll Firepower dice when making a Shoot action. If using a weapon with the Rapid Fire trait, assume the maximum possible number of hits were rolled.
Bond of Brotherhood
You may play this card when one of your gang's fighters ends their activation within 3'' of another fighter in your gang who is Seriously Injured.
The Seriously Injured fighter may immediately make a recovery test, and are considered to be assisted. If the Seriously Injured fighter recovers they may stand up rather than become Pinned.

Crossfire
You may play this card when a fighter makes a ranged attack against a target who has already been shot at by a friendly fighter, instead of rolling to hit.

Duck and Cover
You may play this card when activating an Active or Pinned fighter.
If this fighter is Pinned they may immediately stand up.

This cannot be interrupted by abilities or other Tactics Cards that interrupt actions.
Fire Discipline
You may play this card at the start of the battle after setting up your gang.
For the duration of the battle ranged attacks made by your fighters only trigger an Ammo check if the Firepower dice rolls an Ammo symbol and the hit roll is a success.
Healthy Paranoia
You may play this card on a fighter when they are set up on the battlefield. Tuck this under that fighter's card.
For the remainder of the battle if a Hidden enemy fighter moves within 12'' and line of sight of this fighter that enemy fighter's action ends immediately, this fighter stops being a Sentry (if relevant), gets a Ready marker if they do not already have one, and this fighter may activate immediately.
Lead by Example
You may play this card when the Leader of your gang takes an enemy fighter Out of Action.
Any of your gang's fighters who are Pinned may stand up for free. Any of your gang's fighters who are Seriously Injured may recover, taking a Flesh Wound and becoming Pinned. Any of your gang's fighters who are Broken immediately Rally.

Tactical Reload
You may play this card when activating one of your gang's fighters who has a weapon that is Out of Ammo.

Legend
Tactics Cards vary in impact, and are categorized accordingly into three Tiers: Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.
Additionally, some Tactics Cards are marked with a symbol indicating the card may only be taken in certain circumstances;
these are described below:
Α : Alpha Tier
Some Tactics Cards are very situational but can have a major effect upon a battle when applicable, while others introduce
something into play on the battlefield that can change the game state in a dramatic way, and still others affect many fighters
simultaneously, and so on. Well timed usage of most Alpha Tier Tactics Cards has the potential to swing a battle.
In some campaign types, how many Alpha Tier Tactics Cards a gang is permitted to take in their Tactics Cards decks is restricted.
Β : Beta Tier
Some Tactics Cards are specialized, strong but narrow in their application, or simply in between the power level of Alpha Tier and Gamma Tier cards.
In particular, Beta Tier Tactics Cards often help specific gang fighters push their speciality or fulfill a role for their gang.
Other Beta Tier Tactics Cards can help a gang cover a gap in their tactical capabilities, or grant some form of action advantage,
or mitigate particularly bad outcomes.
In some campaign types, how many Beta Tier Tactics Cards a gang is permitted to take in their Tactics Cards decks is restricted.
Γ : Gamma Tier
Some Tactics Cards are generally applicable, easy to play, consistent in what they offer; the majority of Tactics Cards fall into this category.
While not as dramatic as Alpha Tier cards, or as specialized as Beta Tier cards, these Tactics Cards are reliable and flexible.
Ω : Zone Mortalis Only
Some Tactics Cards are only applicable for the twisting tunnels, locked doorks, ductways, and pitfalls of Zone Mortalis battlefields or hybrid battlefields that include such features.
≠ : Sector Mechanicus Only
Some Tactics Cards are only applicable for the multi-leveled verticality of Sector Mechanicus battlefields or hybrid battlefields that include such features.
Φ : Skirmish Only
Some Tactics Cards are not appropriate for campaign play, and should only be used for skirmishes.
Ψ : Campaign Only
Some Tactics Cards only make sense during campaign play where fighters and gangs evolve over multiple battles, and thus have no relevance to skirmish battles.
