== Your Turn ==

You can either:

'''Draw 2 Troops''' from your reserve and place them on your rack. Your rack can hold up to 8 Troops maximum

or

'''Play 1 troop''' from your rack onto a space on the battlefield. You can place it anywhere that fulfills the following conditions:

<ul class="bulletlist" style="margin:1em 0;padding-inline-start:40px;">
<li>An empty base that is connected to your HQ (this means you must always follow a continuous path from your HQ (starting point) to the troop you are placing, passing only through bases you occupy)</li>
<li>A base occupied by any of your troops</li>
<li>A base occupied by an enemy troop with a lower strength than yours</li>
<li>Your opponent's HQ. (You cannot place a troop on your own HQ)</li>
</ul>

Each troop has an effect that triggers after placement.

If the troop was placed on a special base with an effect that triggers after the troop's effect triggers.

If you control a region by occupying all the bases surrounding it, the player claims the medal(s) in that area.
