Tactical Cards FAQ

You get to choose both.

The preparation phase is explained on pages 13-15 in the rulebook.

Step 5 has the first player choosing a Mission card from his deck and then the opponent doing the same (note that the mission has to be a different one, if it is a revealed mission).

Step 8 has the first player selecting a number of Tactical cards from his deck.

The choice of a Mission is a fun tactical challenge since you see both forces before making the decision but since some are more difficult than others, we have a house rule where we avoid playing the same mission more than once every four games or so at maximum.

In tournaments its customary that each player can play a certain mission only once during the tournament, which makes for a very interesting tactical dilemma, i.e. will I choose this harder mission now that I've seen that I have the upper hand due to my force composition.
