Until the end of the turning point, that friendly operative can do so even though it’s expended (taking precedence over the normal rules). However, if it does, it cannot counteract during the turning point, or perform the Reposition action if it’s already done so this turning point.

The first time during each turning point that another friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operative (excluding VOX-RELAY BEACON) would be incapacitated while visible to and within 3" of this operative, you can use this rule, providing neither this nor that operative is within control range of an enemy operative. If you do, that friendly operative isn’t incapacitated, has 1 wound remaining and cannot be incapacitated for the remainder of the action. After that action, that friendly operative can immediately perform a free Dash action, but must end that move within this operative’s control range. Subtract 1 from this and that operative’s APL stats until the end of their next activations respectively, and if this rule was used during that friendly operative’s activation, that activation ends. You cannot use this rule if this operative is incapacitated, or if it’s a Shoot action and this operative would be a primary or secondary target.

This operative can use frag, krak, and smoke 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.
This operative is carrying your Melta Mine marker. It can perform the Pick Up Marker action on that marker, and whenever it performs the Place Marker action on that marker, it can immediately perform a free Dash action. That marker cannot be placed within an enemy operative’s control range (if this operative is incapacitated while carrying that marker and that marker cannot be placed, it’s removed with this operative).
The first time your Melta Mine marker is within another operative’s control range, remove that marker and inflict 2D6+3 damage on that operative; if it isn’t incapacitated, end its action (if any), even if that action’s effects aren’t fulfilled. If it cannot be placed, move it the minimum amount to do so. Note that this operative is ignored for these effects (i.e. it cannot set it off or take damage from that marker).

In the Set Up Operatives step, this operative can be set up outside of your drop zone. It must be set up in a location it can be placed, wholly within your territory and more than 2" from markers and equipment terrain features.
This operative cannot perform any actions other than Signal. It cannot counteract, retaliate or assist in a fight.
This operative cannot contest markers or areas of the killzone, and is ignored for your opponent’s kill/elimination op (when it’s incapacitated, and when determining your starting number of operatives). It’s also ignored for victory conditions and scoring VPs if either require operatives to ‘escape’, ‘survive’ or be incapacitated by enemy operatives (if it escapes/survives/is incapacitated, determining how many operatives must escape/survive/be incapacitated, etc.).
Operatives can move through this operative. Your opponent can ignore this operative’s control range at any time. Whenever a friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operative is performing the Shoot action and you’re selecting a valid target, you can ignore this operative’s control range. Note that control range wouldn’t be mutual when ignored.
Select one other friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operative within 6" of this operative. Until the end of that operative’s next activation, add 1 to its APL stat.

In the Ready step of each Strategy phase, you gain 1 Fieldcraft point, or 2 if a friendly SPECTRE SQUAD VOX-OPERATOR operative is in the killzone and isn’t within control range of enemy operatives. At the end of each turning point, discard your Fieldcraft points.
After an enemy operative that has an Engage order performs an action during its activation, you can spend 1 of your Fieldcraft points to interrupt that activation. If you do, a ready friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operative that isn’t within control range of any other enemy operatives can perform a free Shoot (excluding Guard), Dash or Reposition action.
You cannot interrupt each enemy operative’s activation more than once per activation (including Guard), and each friendly operative cannot perform more than one free action per turning point as a result of this rule.
If it’s the Shoot action, you can change that friendly operative’s order to perform this action. You cannot select any other enemy operative as a valid target during that action. Being within that enemy operative’s control range (but no others) doesn’t prevent that friendly operative from performing that action, in which case follow the rules for a point-blank shot from the Guard action (see Kill Team Core Book).
If it’s the Reposition action, that friendly operative cannot perform that action again during the turning point. If it’s the Dash or Reposition action, that friendly operative cannot end this move closer to that enemy operative or your opponent’s drop zone (unless it ends that move wholly within your drop zone). In a killzone that uses the close quarters rules (e.g. Killzone: Tomb World), ignore Wall terrain when determining closer and you cannot teleport.
Whenever an operative is shooting a friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operative (excluding VOX-RELAY BEACON), if you can retain any cover saves, you can retain one additional cover save, or you can retain one cover save as a critical success instead. This isn’t cumulative with improved cover saves from Vantage terrain.
One friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operative can immediately perform a free Reposition action. It cannot end that move closer to enemy operatives or your opponent’s drop zone (unless it ends that move wholly within your drop zone) and it cannot perform that action again during the turning point. In a killzone that uses the close quarters rules (e.g. Killzone: Tomb World), ignore Wall terrain when determining closer.
Whenever a friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operative is shooting, if it’s in cover from the target’s perspective, that friendly operative’s weapons have the Balanced weapon rule. Note that your opponent still determines the targeting lines for this (i.e. they decide which point of their operative’s base targeting lines are drawn from).
Whenever a friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operative is activated, if it’s more than 3" from enemy operatives and isn’t a valid target for enemy operatives before determining its order, its ranged weapons (excluding the suppressive profile of an autostubber) have the Devastating 1 weapon rule until the end of that activation.
In the Firefight phase of this turning point, you can do one of the following:
Use this firefight ploy during a friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operative’s activation, before or after it performs an action. During that activation, that operative can perform the Fall Back action for 1 less AP.
Use this firefight ploy during a friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operative’s activation before or after it performs an action, if it has a Conceal order and isn’t a valid target for enemy operatives. Until the end of that activation, it can perform the Charge action while it has a Conceal order, and the first time it strikes you can inflict 3 additional damage, but cannot resolve any other successes during that sequence.
Use this firefight ploy after an enemy operative that has a Conceal order performs an action during its activation, if it’s within 8" of a friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operative. You can use the Elite Fieldcraft faction rule to interrupt that activation with that friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operative regardless of that enemy operative’s order (taking precedence over the normal rules).
Use this firefight ploy when a friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operative that has a Conceal order or is ready is retaliating. You can do one of the following:
You cannot use this ploy during an activation in which you’ve interrupted with the Elite Fieldcraft faction rule.
Once per turning point, a friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operative can use the following ranged weapon:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sniper overwatch | 4 | 3+ | 3/3 | |
| Règles | Devastating 2, Heavy (Dash only), Saturate, Silent | |||
Once per turning point, when a friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operative is performing the Shoot action and you’re selecting a valid target, you can use this rule. If you do, that target cannot be obscured if either of the following are true:
STRATEGIC GAMBIT. One friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operative can immediately perform a free Stun Grenade action (see universal equipment). Performing this action using this rule doesn’t count towards its action limits (i.e. if you also select that grenade from equipment). When an enemy operative’s APL stat is changed as a result of this STRATEGIC GAMBIT, you cannot use it for the rest of the battle.
Friendly SPECTRE SQUAD operatives (excluding VOX-RELAY BEACON) can perform the following unique action:
Until the start of this operative’s next activation, while it has a Conceal order and is in cover, it cannot be selected as a valid target, taking precedence over all other rules (e.g. Seek, Vantage terrain) except being within 2".
This operative cannot perform this action while visible to and within 3" of an enemy operative.
