The Units

The game has 5 units:

• Infantry: Strong in defense when in rough terrain or cities.
• Armour: Strong in attack (they do three damage if they win an assault). No defense bonuses.
• Artillery: The only ranged unit in the game.
• Logistics: Not great in attack or defense, but is needed to win the game.
• HQ: A very strong unit that can also give special reactive orders to other units.

The Active Orders

Active orders are direct orders given to your units. Each unit can receive one active order per turn.

• Move/Attack You can move through friendly units.
• Fire In addition to damaging a unit, the Fire action can also pin it. A pinned unit loses its HQ order and cannot be activated for the reminder of the turn.
• Wait Sometimes you just want your unit to wait around a bit. Looking at you Logistics.
• HQ Give reactive orders to units within 2 hexes.

The Reactive Orders

Reactive Orders, or HQ Orders, are given by an HQ unit. They let your units react to actions. When a unit reacts it does not count as activating, so for example an Artillery unit with the Counter Battery Fire Reactive Order could fire twice in one turn.

• Overwatch: Shoot anything that moves within range. Available for Artillery and Infantry.
• Saboteur: Provides the chance to damage an attacker before its assault begins. Available for Infantry.
• Counter Battery Fire: Fire at anything that Fires within range. Available for Artillery.
• Blitz Move again when you successfully destroy a unit. Available for Armour
• WithdrawWithdraw if you are assaulted and lose, without taking damage. Available for Armour.
