Name	Description
1CP RAPID INGRESS Detachment: Core	WHEN: End of your opponent’s Movement phase. TARGET: One unit from your army that is in Reserves. EFFECT: Your unit can arrive on the battlefield as if it were the Reinforcements step of your Movement phase, and if every model in that unit has the Deep Strike ability, you can set that unit up as described in the Deep Strike ability (even though it is not your Movement phase). RESTRICTIONS: You cannot use this Stratagem to enable a unit to arrive on the battlefield during a battle round it would not normally be able to do so in.
2CP COUNTER-OFFENSIVE Detachment: Core	WHEN: Fight phase, just after an enemy unit has fought. TARGET: One unit from your army that is within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units and that has not already been selected to fight this phase. EFFECT: Your unit fights next.
1CP TANK SHOCK Detachment: Core	WHEN: Your Charge phase, just after a VEHICLE unit from your army ends a Charge move. TARGET: That VEHICLE unit. EFFECT: Select one enemy unit within Engagement Range of your unit, and select one VEHICLE model in your unit that is within Engagement Range of that enemy unit. Roll a number of D6 equal to the Toughness characteristic of the selected VEHICLE model. For each 5+, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound (to a maximum of 6 mortal wounds).
1CP COMMAND RE-ROLL Detachment: Core	WHEN: Any phase, just after you make an Advance roll, a Charge roll, a Desperate Escape test or a Hazardous test for a unit from your army, or a Hit roll, a Wound roll, a Damage roll or a saving throw for a model in that unit, or a roll to determine the number of attacks made with a weapon equipped by a model in that unit. If you are using fast dice rolling, this Stratagem can still be used after rolling multiple rolls or saving throws at once. TARGET: That unit or model from your army. EFFECT: You re-roll that roll, test or saving throw. If you are using fast dice rolling, select one of those rolls or saving throws to re-roll.
