This Stratagem can be played once in each Strategy phase of the
game. When this Stratagem is played, place two markers anywhere
on the table wholly within a piece of terrain (this does not need to
be the same piece of terrain). Instead of activating a Titan or Knight
Banner, a player may fire with these markers as if they were units,
following all of the rules for making attacks and using the profile
below. If more than one player has this Stratagem, players take turns
when placing their markers, beginning with the First Player.

If two opposing markers are placed in the same piece of terrain,

immediately remove both markers.
