Halo: Flashpoint – The Command Dice<\/h1>\n\n

Halo: Flashpoint<\/strong><\/a> is not just about moving minis onto the playing field and sending them into battle. A decisive factor for the flow of the game and exciting tactical twists and turns are the command dice<\/strong>. They represent training, leadership and that little bit of luck that can make every battle unpredictable. <\/p>\n\n

What are command dice?<\/h2>\n\n

At the start of each round, both players roll their command dice. By default it is two dice<\/strong>, but certain models with the Tactician (n)<\/strong> keyword allow additional dice, rerolls and even taking unused results into the next round. <\/p>\n\n

The result is a mixture of planning and luck: you never know exactly what options you will have available, but you can use Tactician models to strongly influence the dice pool.<\/p>\n\n

What are the Command Dice good for?<\/h2>\n\n

Each dice result gives you the opportunity to use additional actions or advantages<\/strong>. This makes Command Dice an extremely flexible tool that can make the difference between victory and defeat. Here are the most important results: <\/p>\n\n
