How to use this Modue
- All componets (units/leader/marker/terrain/objectiv...) can be found in the menu bar by clicking on the box icon.
- The Action and Terrain Deck can be found as well in the menu bar (Deck Icon). During setup Terrain cards need to be moved from the components to the terrain deck by drag and drop. A right click on the terrain deck lets you choose and remove terrain cards.
- In the Action/Terrain Window there is a Dice Button that draws an Action card into the discard and reports the rolled number into the chat window.
- The same Icon is displayed in the Main menu and clicking there will as well draw an Action card into the discard and reports the rolled number into the chat window.
- In the Action/Terrain Window a click on the turn marker will advance the Turn marker to the next round.
- Right clicking the Action/Terrain Discard Pile will give you the option to return all cards to the deck.
- The Allied/German Dice can be rolled by clicking the dice in the menu bar. This will roll the dice and show the result in the menu bar. The result is as well reported into the chat.
