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


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
