4. Tactics: wrote:Each player who has a Battle Bridge side deck may draw one or two Tactic cards from the top of that side deck. (Players may look at each Tactic before deciding whether to draw the next.) A player who has thus drawn may decide to play one (and only one) Tactic card face down on the table. If so, this card becomes his or her current tactic for the remainder of the current battle. Any unused Tactic cards are placed face-up beneath the Battle Bridge side deck. (Tactics cards are never discarded. Whenever the side deck is exhausted, face-up cards are shuffled and replaced face-down, regenerating the side deck.)
Clarifications: Downloading Tactics

Once both players have selected their current tactics (or chosen not to use a tactic during this battle), they are revealed simultaneously by turning them face up.
Not sure what tactic you are using and how many/what damage occurs.

deck's replenish whenever they are empty. it doesn't matter if you are in the middle of dolling out damage or not. If all of your tactics are in play, you cannot dole out any more damage.

wouldnt it be easier to just shuffle them in face down?
the whole face up /face down mechanic seems unneccesary complicated

Well the new Q Flash shows the first move away from the side deck rule. Do you like that better?

shuffling each time a tactic finds its way back to the side deck would take a lot of time.

Also, I always assumed, it's a neat way of encountering this "infinite" side deck in a slightly less random way. The "face-up return" mechanic ensures that the still-to-be-encountered pool of "new" cards is not yet diluted with "seen" cards; thus there will, probably, be more diversity early on. I thought that makes for a big, and interesting, difference (as opposed to immediately returning them to the drawable pool, which might feel more intuitive at first glance).
That's why I like the mechanic as-is.

its probably less problematic in paper as it is on lackey, as you cant really face up only parts of the deck
