Note: ‘Impossible to complete’ tactical objectives include only those that are impossible due to your opponent’s army composition such as ‘Kill a Psyker’ where you opponent did not bring one. Tactical objectives do not count as ‘impossible’ if they cannot be completed because of your army composition - for example ‘Manifest a psychic power’ and you do not have a psyker, or ‘Hold all objectives’ and you do not have 6 units.
