Support Cards define tactical assets originating from off-table locations. These components are integrated into an Army List during Army Building and do not possess physical Miniatures or generate Initiative Tokens within the Play Area. Force construction parameters restrict players to a maximum of exactly one Support Card for every 250 points allocated to the Army's point limit cap. Furthermore, the cumulative numerical cost of all assigned Support Cards is prohibited from exceeding 15% of the total point allowance of the Army List.
Utilization of a Support Card requires the expenditure of exactly 1 Action Point to resolve the Special Action during the Activation of a friendly Unit. The player must declare the specific Support Card to be utilized and identify a legal Target coordinate or Unit. This declaration triggers a mandatory Availability Roll resolved by casting 2d6 against the numerical Success Threshold printed on the component.
- If the result of the 2d6 casting meets or exceeds the printed Success Threshold, the mechanical effect of the Support Card is resolved immediately and the card is discarded and removed from play.
- If the result of the 2d6 casting is lower than the Success Threshold, the current Special Action is categorized as spent but the Support Card is returned to the player's hand for future resolution.
- Unless the rules text of a specific Support Card provides a technical override, these effects ignore standard Line Of Sight requirements and may target any coordinates within the Play Area.
- Resolving an Availability Roll is categorized as a mechanical check and is subject to numerical adjustments from specialized Keyword abilities or Tactical Point expenditure.
