Unit Breakdown

A basic unit has 5 movement points, 4 if a WT, otherwise most info is on the tile

Along the right side is the unit Morale in white then yellow then red

At the base, from left to right, you have: Firepower with two numbers separated by a slash, Melee power in a small lower indexed number connected to this, Range in the middle, then Casualty on the far right with two numbers separated by a slash

Firepower is made up of normal firepower on the left, and Opportunity and Assault Firepower on the right

Range is the maximum number of hexes a unit can shoot up to

Casualty is the likelihood to take further casualties and is made up of a normal and a reduced value

Some units also have a SATW number, the lower the better

Phases

The game is played over 4 phases, with each player taking their turn for that phase, then the other player, before moving to the next phase. The phases are:

1) Operations

2) Rout

3) Melee

4) Recovery

Operations Phase

Each player has a number of actions they can perform, with a minimum and a maximum allowance, each unit can only perform once. This alternates until both players have used all their units.

A Unit can either move, fire, take opportunity, or do nothing but still use an action

Command Points

Commanded points are given each turn and allow for special actions to be taken (5 options)

1) Re-roll non-Gun MC dice

2) For second player to perform 1 action prior to first player's full turn

3) Take a Final Op Fire action

4) Re-roll Melee dice

5) Give a +1 to Assault or Opportunity Firepower (cannot exceed Normal Firepower)

Each unit can only benefit from ONE of these effects ONCE per round
