Multi-line legions rotate fresh lines forward to shed a DP.

How it works

On a halt, fall-back or follow-up result, a legion with second and third lines may relieve ranks, removing 1 DP; a marker records it and it can be done only as many times as the legion has additional lines. Falling back legions may relieve and stay in place instead.

Relieve Ranks. Legions with second and third lines may relieve ranks on a halt, fall-back or follow-up result. Place a marker beside the legion to indicate. Line relief removes 1 DP.
