6.3.3 Forced March

It is possible to force march your troops/baggage trains if their presence is urgently required in some part of your empire. A forced march will raise your brigade's/federation's MP by 50%, but their attrition rate will triple (see 6.3.4, p44 below).

To order a forced march add 10 to the first direction command only:

Example:4002 / 13 / 1 / 5 / 3

Brigade 4002 is ordered to force march in direction 3 (East) one co-ordinate and then continue with the forced march in direction 5 (South) three co-ordinates.

Battalions within a brigade/federation whose normal MPs are within the raised number of movement points will suffer normal attrition.

Notes:

A forced march is only possible within your own empire. When attempting to enter foreign territory (including that of an ally) the movement will cease at your border.

You cannot enter or conquer foreign territory using a forced march command, your federations/brigades will stop at the border and will not enter enemy territory.
