Apologies if this has already been asked; I searched, but couldn't find it.
Played a few games now, and most of our questions we can figure out by a careful reading of the rules, but there was one that stumped us.
Some tech cards allow you to reroll the alien die; what we wondered about is, are these only usable on that tasks that are performed by the relevant role? I.e. Carapace Armour allows the Squad Leader to reroll the alien die on base defence/missions, but can't be exhausted during, say, Orbital Defence, or Research tasks.
That seems to make sense, fluff-wise, but the rules aren't clear (unless we've missed something). Any thoughts?
