Command, then Volley & Bayonet

Target = sum of both commanders' ratings (1 poor to 4 excellent), -1 per 10" between them, plus a modifier by the current order (e.g. Reserve +2, Assault -2, Maneuver -1, Hold Ground +1). On failure a marker adds +2 next turn, rising by 2 each consecutive turn; no new order can be sent until the first is adopted. In play this gives about a two-turn lag.

To successfully change an order the player must roll on a D10, less than or equal to the sum of the two commanders' ratings

Attack allows Assault, Engage or Bombard (leader may only move straight ahead in a direction fixed on receipt). Move allows Maneuver (free direction) or March (road movement at triple speed, always in command). Defend allows Hold Ground or Withdraw/Counter Attack; Reserve allows Stand or Reform (90-degree arc away from enemy, may recover disorder without a superior general).

Army commanders can order corps commanders to Attack, Move, Defend, or Reserve.

Under every divisional order the units must attempt to stay within 6"; units on roads under March orders always count as in command.

The units under his control must attempt to stay within command range (6").

Columns F (infantry fire), M (melee), P (cavalry vs disordered), B (artillery long range) and C (artillery short range); artillery fires with two dice. A second row applies to units in a 'Stationary' stance, adopted when they did not pivot, move or fight that turn and lost once they move.

the "to Hit" number is dependent on the orders under which a unit is operating and the "To Hit" roll is done with a tensided die instead of a six sided die.

During the command phase orders go from army to corps commanders and from corps to division commanders; units can do nothing until they receive orders.

At the beginning of every turn, during the command phase, a player may issue orders from army commanders to corps commanders and from corps commanders to division commanders.
