XV26 Stealth Battlesuits

STRATEGIC GAMBIT whenever this operative is in the killzone. Select one friendly XV26 STEALTH BATTLESUIT DRONE operative in the killzone. Until the end of that operative's next activation, ignore the first two bullet points of its Drone rule (this takes precedence over that rule).

Whenever determining the value of Accurate X for the Kauyon faction rule, if this operative is in the killzone, add 1 to the result if 2 or more friendly XV26 STEALTH BATTLESUIT operatives (excluding DRONE) are incapacitated (to a maximum of Accurate 3). Note that you must have a minimum of Accurate 1 to use this rule.

Whenever an enemy operative is a valid target for this operative, or is visible to this operative and within 2" of your Ambush marker (Prepare Ambush, pg 33), it's marked. Whenever a friendly XV26 STEALTH BATTLESUIT operative is shooting an operative that's marked, that friendly operative's ranged weapons have the Severe weapon rule. Note that an operative can be a valid target for this operative even if this operative isn't the active operative.

This operative can counteract regardless of its order, but if it has a Conceal order during that counteraction, it cannot perform any actions other than Pick Up Marker, Place Marker or mission actions.

This operative can use frag, krak, smoke and stun grenades (see universal equipment). Doing so doesn't count towards any limited uses you have (i.e. if you also select those grenades from equipment for other operatives). Whenever this operative is using a frag or krak grenade, improve the Hit stat of that weapon by 1.

Once per turning point, when an enemy operative is performing the Shoot action and your opponent selects a valid target (excluding DRONE), you can use this rule, providing this operative isn't within control range of enemy operatives. If you do, until the end of that action, whenever an enemy operative is shooting a friendly XV26 STEALTH BATTLESUIT operative that's both visible to and within 3" of this operative and more than 2" from that enemy operative:

• Ignore the Piercing weapon rule.
• That friendly operative is obscured.

This operative is carrying your Homing Beacon marker. Operatives (excluding DRONE) can perform the Pick Up Marker action on that marker. The first time an enemy operative performs the Pick Up Marker action on your Homing Beacon marker, discard that marker (remove it from the battle).

In the Ready step of each Strategy phase, when you gain CP, if your Homing Beacon marker is in the killzone, roll one D6 if it's more than 6" from your drop zone; roll two D6 instead if it's within your opponent's territory; roll 3D6 instead if it's within 6" of your opponent's drop zone. If any results is a 4+, you gain one additional CP.

SUPPORT. Once per turning point, when an enemy operative visible to and within 8" of this operative is activated, you can use this rule. If you do, each friendly XV26 STEALTH BATTLESUIT operative within 3" of this operative can immediately do one of the following:

• Perform a free Dash action (in an order of your choice).
• Change its order.

Each friendly operative that performs the Dash action cannot end that move within 3" of an enemy operative. Note that a Comms Device from universal equipment only affects the second distance of this rule.

Whenever an enemy operative is a valid target for this operative, or is visible to this operative and within 2" of your Ambush marker (Prepare Ambush, pg 33), it's marked. Whenever a friendly XV26 STEALTH BATTLESUIT operative is shooting an operative that's marked, that friendly operative's ranged weapons have the Severe weapon rule. Note that an operative can be a valid target for this operative even if this operative isn't the active operative.
