7.2.5.6 Simplified Orders
The orders explained in 7.2.5 can be used in numerous ways, but to facilitate filling out the order sheet there are some simplified orders that are derived from those orders in 7.2.5. You cannot fill in any additional orders for these orders but they do need destinations and formations.
Order 1 + formation order.
The federation will march in the direction of the given destination and ignore all enemy federations on its way. If no destination are given the federation will stay on its current position and defend it.
(i.e. order 11 with additional order 30) (see 7.2.5.2.1., p77)
Order 2 + formation order.
The federation will move towards the given destination but it will attack all enemy troops in its line of sight in the beginning of a half-round if it can reach them with its Mps.
(i.e. order 11, additional order 0)(see 7.2.5.2.1., p77)
Order 3 + formation order.
Same as order 2 but it will march in direction of a sighted enemy even if it cannot each it with its Mps in that half-round.
(i.e. order 12, additional order 0)(see 7.2.5.2.1., p77)
Order 4 + formation order.
The federation will stay on its current position but should an enemy federation be in its line of sight at the beginning of a half-round it will attack it. After the end of the combat it will return to its previous position.
(i.e. order 31, additional order 0)(see 7.2.5.2.1., p77)
Order 5 + formation order.
The federation will move towards the given destination, but should it sight an enemy federation that is closer than 5 co-ordinates then it will move back towards its own set-up-area and stay at a distance of 5 co-ordinates to the enemy.
(i.e. order 13, additional order 5)(see 7.2.5.2.1., p77)
