Sentinels of Freedom Pre-Installed Game
Sync and Vigilance actions add life to the battlefield when characters perform additional actions out of sequence, triggered by special conditions. When a character performs an action, sync actions allow other characters to take part or enhance that action, like a character creating a distraction to remove the target’s Evade defense before an attack lands. Positioning your team to take advantage of these extra actions can be critical to the success of a mission. Vigilance allows an inactive character to react to the active character based on various triggers, such as moving through their line of sight. Each character has a “vigilance zone” around them which sets the chance of the vigilance action happening. These actions can go much further than the standard overwatch with actions like “keep cover” which allows a character to try and find new cover when flanked. Will you be able to rescue the hostages in time? Can you survive the chaos until more defensive actions are taken? The initiative can have a major impact on situations like these. In Sentinels of Freedom, initiative determines the turn order for all characters and events in around. Actions from previous rounds can have a major impact on the initiative.
