Dictate allows sulla to use maneuver (tactic) and exploit (tactic) at the cost of fatigue instead of favor. Maneuver was the second one I was referring to.
Gotcha. That's true, obviously.
But if that limitation (only only being usable during a clear turn) was a hard one, how would Dictate work? Do you think Dictate would make the affected models use the indicated tactic during their next clear turn? I.e. at some point in the future, rather than right now?
If not, then Dictate cannot be used at all, if you are right. Then Sulla would try and use Dictate, tell another model to Maneuver, and that model goes "I cannot, because it is not a clear turn", and then Sulla wasted his breath.
Because Dictate cannot be used itself during a clear turn, since it is not a tactic.
Unless you think that it is simply implied that Dictate is an ability that only works during clear turns, because it refers to tactics, rather than an ability that works during Sulla's activation. I can see how you could read it like that. The main reason I think that's not how it is is that Exploit refers to being used during an activation.
Is confusing. We need to talk it through.
