Support Action Cards
Some Action cards have the Support trait noted next to their discard cost. These cards can be kept in play for several turns.
Discard the noted number of Action cards (top right corner), and place the Support card next to your Soldier.
No other player soldier can discard cards to meet this requirement.
Support cards do not benefit from Soldier Skills and Action cards.
Example: You play a Mortar Call Action card (found in the Support Expansion), and you have the Explosives Skill. Your Skill does not modify the Mortar Call die rolls even though the Mortar Call inflicts Explosion Attacks.
Once the Support card is in play, you gain its benefit. At the end of each Soldier Turn, you can choose to either discard the card, or pay its Retain cost in Experience Points. If you Retain the card, you can use the card's effect again during the next turn.
Any Soldier can help pay the XP Retain cost of a Support card.
Example: You have discarded 2 cards to put a Sniper Support card into play. You use it to Kill a Hostile on a Hostile card with a value of 0 or 1. At the end of the Soldier Turn, you and another Soldier each spend 1 Experience Point to Retain the Sniper Support card for another turn.
Only cards with a "Retain" notation can be Retained.
