Stratagems

Synaptic Goading
Any Phase - Strategic Ploy
Target

That ENDLESS MULTITUDE unit

When

Any phase, just before an ENDLESS MULTITUDE unit from your army that is within Synapse Range of your army makes a Surge move.

Effect

When making that Surge move, you can re-roll the D6 to determine how far your unit moves, and your unit can end that move as close as possible to the closest objective marker (instead of as close as possible to the closest enemy unit). All other rules for making Surge moves still apply.
