There are a number of special abilities that can be purchased in Damocles.

Are they generally available?

Also what do they do.

Only for the damocles campaign.

Sorry, the question was half answered. I hate to sound ungrateful but people dont read that it is only half answered and the thread is ignored.

So I ask again.

What do the Damocles special abilities do?

Frostbite special abilties have been opened up for regular play, such as buying nanogenerators and karman crystals. I wonder if that similarly overrides any 'Damocles only' stricture, does it actually verbally limit the abilities to Damocles.

It would seem a waste buying Damocles book for one or two lines of ruling. The indication I got from when I started was that the Damocles book and At-043 Tactics was not core material unlike the Frostbite book.

i dont have the book with me so dont qote me...

Red Blok UNA and Karmans get artillery strikes
UNA get also a spaceship that works similar to artillery strike a bit more powerful... but cannot use it against RB
Karmans got Karmic bullet time... once activated can move all (or maybe just one) units 5cm
Propaganda REd blok can efectively activate a unit twice (one time normal and one time due to propaganda)

Some extra equipment for different damocles levels....

i will read it again today and let you know more ok...

Thanks Wolfen.

In would be nice to work out what is in the Damocles book from a review. Then I can better judge if it is worth buying.
