NCO

AUTOMATIC SKILL

Optional

EFFECTS

Allows the user to replace any Special Lieutenant Orders with Tactical Orders and to use them.
This Special Skill does not require the NCO and the Lieutenant to be in the same Combat Group.
If the Trooper with this Special Skill is a member of a Fireteam and is designated as the Team Leader, then he may use that Tactical Order to activate their Fireteam.

Sibylla's Advice

To use the Lieutenant Order, the Order must have been generated during the Order Count. Once generated, the Order may be spent during the Orders Phase, even if the Lieutenant has entered a Null State since then.
