Alessandro, I pursued this same question yesterday and found an answer.

In an informative BGG thread from 2010 ( boardgamegeek.com/thread/506217/i-need-t...ion-of-when-cards-sa ), we learn the following:

** Cards that read "As an action . . ." means "As long as you do not exceed the number of actions in the action turn you have, you may - as an action - dispose of the card´s positive effect. Bring to bear all three uses in one turn if you wish." This includes the Rally Cry, Desperation, and Dust Cloud cards.

** Cards that read "Once per action turn . . ." means "The only difference is that you may not use the effects of the card (three in total) in one turn. Here you may not, as you say, burn all its uses in one shot." This includes the Take Cover, Critical Objective, and Increased Visibility cards.

Note for the second bullet above the thread also clarifies that for the Take Cover card, this includes Normal, Suppressive, _and_ Op Fire attacks, which means a squad taking the Advance or Fire & Movement actions can use this card against an Op Fire attack.

As with Tyger, my NW Morale I deck includes one each of "Desperation" and "Preparations."

My FFG DotF Morale II deck includes one "Desperation" and zero "Preparations."

Hi Tyger, thank you for posting this.
I've double checked and I can find the "Deseperation" card in the "Morale 2" deck.

Here you can find a full list with cards distributions.

Please let me know if you find something more.

I was going through the cards (sorting mine) and comparing to the posting...  I noticed the posting pictures quantity two of the "Preparation" Cards and does not include the quantity one of the "Desperation" Cards...   I believe proper quantity is one Preparation and one Desperation...  Thank you!

These are some of the best cards ever in any deck.
Without considering that they cost only 1 or 2 Command Points.

When is this skill activated?
  1. During the attack declaration (i.e. before the attacker's dice roll)?
  2. Or maybe the defender can look at the outcome of the dice and then decide whether or not to activate this card?
