ORDERS & LIMITATIONS

Activation What it Does
The Activation phase provides an opportunity to initialise each unit at the beginning of each turn of play. The process is automatic based on the Activation rules engine in the App. The only opportunity for input is to change the Standing Orders for any unit as applicable.
Activation involves taking the current Order of the Unit and then determining any status change against the unit numbers and its calibre. There is a virtual dice throw as well somewhere in the process. The result for each unit will be displayed with the status and any limtiations for the current sequence of play. The output is non negotiable.
The standing orders will dictate the moves available to the unit in the coming turn of play. There may be additional rules based on the Scenario selected. Changes to Standing Orders are made after Activation.
