6.3.7.2'Remaining Stationary'
To conquer a co-ordinate (see 6.4.1.1., p47 and 6.7.2., p61) or to stop or attack an enemy item (see 6.4.1.3, p48, 6.4.1.3.2., p49) you must first move your brigade/item. However if the co-ordinate you wish to conquer or the enemy you wish to stop is on the same co-ordinate as your item then you have to move your item without leaving the co-ordinate. To do this use direction command 9 (remain stationary) and fill in a distance of 1.
Example:4002 / 9 / 1 / 5 / 2 / 7 / 2
Brigade 4002 is remaining stationary, then moving two co-ordinates to the South and two co-ordinates to the West.
Notes:
After using the remaining stationary command(9/1), in the first direction and distance command, you can continue to use the remaining two direction and distance commands in that order.
It does cost MPs to move while remaining stationary. The troops effectively march around the province, climb mountains, forge through forests, etc., and thus incur the MP cost.
If you disembark a brigade onto an island, you must use the remaining stationary command on the following month to capture the co-ordinate. You will not capture a co-ordinate simply by unloading a brigade onto it.
If you disemberk brigades onto a co-ordinate where there are enemy brigades stationed there will be no battle. To start a battle either the enemy brigades or your brigades must be given the remain stationary command.
You can use the remain stationary command in any of the direction and distance commands, you are not limited to using it on the first one.
