Battle Tactics
Score victory points by completing tactical objectives during battle.
In the General’s Handbook 2026-27, each player brings 2 battle tactic cards to the table. Every card sets up its own board state and offers three tactics — an affray, a strike and a domination — so you pick the objective that best fits the turn ahead and race to complete it for victory points.
