Strategic Ploys
Death Throes
1 CP
Whenever a friendly INFILTRATION VANGUARD operative (excluding LICTOR) is incapacitated when fighting or retaliating,
if you have any unresolved attack dice, you can roll 1D6.
If the result is a success as if it were the Roll Attack Dice step of that sequence (i.e, using the same weapon, but with no re-rolls), you can strike the enemy operative in that sequence with one of your unresolved
normal successes, or any of your successes instead if the 1D6 result is a critical success. In either case, that friendly operative is removed from the killzone afterwards.
Lurk
1 CP
Whenever an enemy operative is shooting a friendly INFILTRATION VANGUARD operative, if you can retain any cover saves as a result of Heavy terrain, you can retain one additional cover save.
Survival Instincts
1 CP
You can ignore any changes to the stats of friendly INFILTRATION VANGUARD operatives from being injured (including their weapons' stats).
Hidden Horrors

Until the end of the turning point, while friendly INFILTRATION VANGUARD operatives have a Conceal order, they are always treated as having a Conceal order, regardless of any other rules (e.g. Vantage Point).
Firefight Ploys
Stealth Assault
1 CP
Use this firefight ploy when a friendly INFILTRATION VANGUARD operative that has a Conceal order is activated, is given an Engage order, performs the Charge and then the Fight action,
and you’re resolving your first attack dice from this activation.
After doing so, you can immediately resolve another of your attack dice (before your opponent). The operative cannot have performed any other actions during this activation (but can do so after resolving this ploy).
Unseen Hunter
1 CP
Use this Firefight Ploy at the start or end of any activation.
Select one friendly INFILTRATION VANGUARD operative that has not performed a shooting attack during this Turning Point. You can change its order.

Patient Ambush
