The combat sequence

• Select a HQ. Activate it (ctrl-a). The activation adds a red frame to the unit clarifying that this is one of the units activated in this player turn and automatically flip it. Then you can deploy it. A “moved” marker will appear if the HQ is deployed.

• Proceed by ordering (ctrl-a) one unit at a time. Each unit can:

  • Move: It is automatically marked with a “moved” marker and a trail shows its movement. If it enters a tunnel, mark it with a “tunnel” marker (shift-t). Vehicles are automatically flipped face-up.

  • Fire (ctrl-f): the unit is marked with a “fired” marker and, if hidden, it is automatically flipped face-up, select the target (ctrl-t) and roll the dice. If successful, reduce the strength of the target (ctrl-h).

  • Rally (ctrl-r): the unit is marked with a “rally” marker. Then roll the die. If successful, add one strength level (alt-h).

  • Perform a special action (ctrl-s): the unit is marked with a “special” marker and, if hidden, it is automatically flipped face-up. Proceed to roll the dice and/or place the desired terrain block.

  • If the unit is outside the command rage, check the morale first. If the check fails, mark the unit with a “failed” marker (alt-f) otherwise proceed with the activation.

  • If ordering an artillery/air attack, reduce the strength (ctrl-h) of the associated block in the Artillery and Air Support window.

  • If using a HQ as a spotter, mark it with the “spotter” marker (alt-s).

• Once all units have been activated, end the player turn using the End of Player Turn button. This will clear the order markers, the target markers and the movement trails.

• When all player turns have been completed, both players should push the End of Game Turn button and the turn tracker must be increased by one.
