02Decision signals
Editorial tactical model
03Tactical procedure
Use this procedure as a decision order, not a rigid script. Re-check it whenever a hit misses, reinforcements arrive, or the objective changes.
- 01Choose two anchors that cover the objective and recovery jobs.
- 02Use the third slot for a partner who needs shared activity or a missing role.
- 03Check range, armor handling, scouting, and Rally before confirming the squad.
- 04Rotate after the shared activity; do not let one bond pair weaken the reserve.
04Field scenario
For a rescue mission, keep a scout and recovery operator as anchors. Rotate a damage specialist into the third slot, complete the shared objective, then return that slot to another operator on the next suitable mission.
05Common failure modes
Deploying the same favorite pair until the rest of the roster cannot cover key roles.
Forcing an injured operator into a mission only to grow a bond.
Adding a bond partner without checking objective, Rally, or armor coverage.
06End-of-turn checklist
- 01Who advances the objective?
- 02Who can Rally without exposing a second operator?
- 03Does the squad cover short, medium, and long engagement needs?
- 04Which operator rotates out after this shared activity?
