OR
• Play a single Troop or Tactic card.
• First Strike and Ambush are played in reaction to enemy actions normally.
• Counterattack may be used to counter 1 card, and is treated as that card for play limit purposes
At the end of the turn, the Commander draws 1 or 2 Command cards to their Command limit and any gained Inspired Action tokens. When drawing after playing a Scout card , draw 3 Command cards and choose 2.
