Campaign Currencies

The Reach Campaign uses five distinct currencies. Each one serves different purposes — missing a source means leaving advancement on the table.

XP Story Sheet Upgrade models via Crew Training
Caps Stash (Story Sheet) Recruit models, purchase Chems, advance Tiers
Parts Stash (Story Sheet) Modify weapons
Scouting Points Story Sheet Reposition, re-roll dice during setup
