NIGHT MOVEMENT
|
|||
|
|
--------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
DURING A NIGHT TURN, SIGHTING DISTANCE IS LIMITED TO 2 HEXES. AIRCV
|
|||
|
|
UNITS HAVE THEIR MOVEMENT ALLOWANCE HALVED.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NIGHT TURNS ARE INDICATED BY WHITE TERRAIN, UNLESS THE "B" KEY IS
|
|||
|
|
HIT. THE TURN COUNTER IS INVERSE WHEN NIGHT IS OCCURING.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NIGHT OCCURS ON TURNS: 5,6 & 11,12 & 17,18
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
COMBAT
|
|||
|
|
------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
WHEN AN ENEMY UNIT ENTERS AN ECH (ENEMY CONTROLLED HEX) OR CTRL-C IS
|
|||
|
|
HIT, COMBAT IS INITIATED.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE COMPUTER RESOLVES COMBAT CONSIDERING:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE NUMBER OF ENEMIES SIGHTING THE ATTACKER
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE NUMBER OF FRIENDLY UNITS SIGHTING
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE DEFENDER
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE TERRAIN THE DEFENDER IS IN
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE NUMBER OF FRIENDLY UNITS SUPPORTING THE ATTACKER
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE NUMBER OF ENEMY UNITS SUPPORTING
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE DEFENSE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE DISTANCE FROM COMBAT OF THE RESPECTIVE HQ UNITS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE EFFICIENCES, STRENGTHS, MODES, AND TYPERS OF THE UNITS ENGAGED
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE AMOUNT OF ARTILLERY FIRE THE DEFENDER HAS SUFFERED
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ALL ADJACENT DEFENDING UNITS ARE ATTACKED FIRST BEFORE THE ATTACKING
|
|||
|
|
UNIT CAN SUFFER LOSES. A UNIT SUPPORTS THE ATTACK BY BEING IN SUPPRT
|
|||
|
|
MODE, WITHIN 3 HEXES OF ATTACKED, UNMOVED AND WITH NO ENEMY UNITS
|
|||
|
|
ADJACENT TO IT. VICE VERSA FOR DEFENDING UNITS. HQ UNITS SUPPORT THE
|
|||
|
|
ATTACK IF THEY ARE WITHIN 9 HEXES (BONUS AT 4 HEXES) AND ARE WITHOUT
|
|||
|
|
ANY ADJACENT ENEMY UNITS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ARTILLERY BONUS
|
|||
|
|
---------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
AN ENEMY UNIT HIT BY ARTILLERY WILL SUFFER A LOSS IN EFFICIENCY. FOR
|
|||
|
|
THE USE OF FRIENDLY COMBAT, ONLY THE FIRST 2 HITS HAVE ANY EFFECT.
|
|||
|
|
ARTILLERY WILL NOT AFFECT A RETREATED UNIT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
RETREATS AFTER COMBAT
|
|||
|
|
---------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
AFTER COMBAT, A DEFENDING UNIT MAY BE FORCED TO RETREAT. IN THAT
|
|||
|
|
CASE, IT WILL SWITCH TO NORM MODE (OR FIRE MODE FOR ARTILLERY) AND
|
|||
|
|
RETREAT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A RETREATING UNIT MUST FOLLOW NORMAL RULES AND NOT ABUSE IT'S MP'S
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A RETREATING UNIT CAN'T INITIATE COMBAT
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A RETREATING UNIT THAT FAILS TO RETREAT THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF HEXES,
|
|||
|
|
WILL SUFFER ADDITIONAL LOSES AND MAY BE DESTROYED. IF THE UNIT CAN
|
|||
|
|
NOT RETREAT 1 HEX, IT WILL ENTER DEFENSE MODE.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A UNIT MAY RETREAT ONLY ONCE DURING A TURN. IF IT IS REQUIRED TO
|
|||
|
|
RETREAT AGAIN, IT WILL INSTEAD SUFFER LOSES.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
DURING THE NEXT MOVEMENT PHASE, NOT INCLUDING AIRCV UNITS, THE UNIT
|
|||
|
|
WILL HAVE ONLY 1/2 NORMAL MP'S.

ARTILLERY SIGHTING
|
|||
|
|
------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A UNIT MAY ONLY FIRE ON A SIGHTED ENEMY. ANY FRIENDLY UNIT MAY SIGHT
|
|||
|
|
FOR ARTILLERY. THE "O" "F" SEQUENCE WILL NOT FIRE ON HIDDEN UNITS,
|
|||
|
|
THE MANUAL APPROACH MUST BE USED TO DO THIS.
|

AIR POWER
|
|||
|
|
---------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
WHEN CTRL-A IS HIT, THE FOLLOWING WILL BE DISPLAYED:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NATO: #:#: RUSSIAN :ALC:KEYS
|

|
|||
|
|
|

|
|
THE SIDE IN INVERSE HAS SUPERIORTY. IF BOTH SIDES ARE NORMAL, NEITHER
|
|||
|
|
HAS SUPERIORTY.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
AIR SUPERIORTY
|
|||
|
|
--------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
WHEN THE MENU IS DISPLAYED, THE PLAYER MAY ALLOCATE 0-9 POINTS. THIS
|
|||
|
|
IS DONE BY HITTING "A" AND THEN THE NUMBER.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
SUPERIORTY IS DECIDED BY THE SIDE WHICH HAS MORE POINTS. A PLAYER MAY
|
|||
|
|
GET 1-2 EXTRA POINTS IF HE HAS HELF SUPERIORTY FOR MORE THAN 2 TURNS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
TACTICAL AIR STRIKES
|
|||
|
|
--------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IN TURNS 0-3, A PLAYED CAN ALLOCATE 3 STRIKES. THIS CAN BE CHANGED BY
|
|||
|
|
1-2 DURING THE LATER TURNS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
TO ALLOCATE THE STRIKES, HIT "T" AND MOVE THE CURSOR TO THE PLACE YOU
|
|||
|
|
WANT AND HIT CTRL-F TO PLACE THE CURSOR.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ON THE PLAYER'S NEXT TURN, WHEN CTRL-A IS HIT, AIR STRIKE MARKERS WILL
|
|||
|
|
APPEAR AT THE DESIGNATED PLACES. THEY MAY THEN BE CALLED IN BY UNITS
|
|||
|
|
ORDERING SUPPORT WITHIN 3 HEXES. IF THE OPPONENT HAS AIR SUPERIORTY,
|
|||
|
|
THE STRIKES FAIL TO APPEAR.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MINES AND NUCLEAR
|
|||
|
|
-----------------
|
|||
|
|

|
|
REINFORCEMENTS
|
|||
|
|
--------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
DURING THE COURSE OF THE GAME, BOTH SIDES WILL RECIEVE REINFORCEMENTS
|
|||
|
|
AT SPECIFIED PLACES. THE REINFORCEMENTS WILL ARRIVE IN AN OVERSIZED
|
|||
|
|
STACK WHICH IS MOVED AWAY.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
REORGANIZATION
|
|||
|
|
--------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
MOST UNITS (NATO AND RUSSIAN) AT A RATE DECIDED UPON BY THE DISTANCE
|
|||
|
|
FROM THE HQ.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE UNIT WILL INCREASE ITS STENGTH AND EFFICIENCY BY:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3 IF WITH 0-4 HEXES (OR IS AN HQ) 2 IF WITHIN 5-9 HEXES FROM HQ 1 IF
|
|||
|
|
DISTANCE IF 10+ FROM HQ
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A UNIT WILL FAIL TO REORGANIZE OF IT IS ADJACENT TO AN ENEMY UNIT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A HIDDEN UNIT IN REOR MODE HAS A SIGHTING DISTANCE OF 2 HEXES
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A UNIT WILL INCREASE TO A MAXIMUM OF 12 STRENGTH POINTS AND 7
|
|||
|
|
EFFICIENCY.

SAVING THE GAME
|
|||
|
|
---------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
TO SAVE THE GAME AT ANY TIME, JUST HIT CTRL-B. A SPECIAL SSI SAVE
|
|||
|
|
DISK MUST BE INITIALIZED TO DO THIS.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
TO RELOAD THE GAME, REPEAT THE CTRL-B PROCESS, BUT POSITION THE ARROWS
|
|||
|
|
NEXT TO A NAME AND HIT <RETURN>. YOU CAN ALSO USE THE RESTART GAME
|
|||
|
|
FEATURE ON THE MAIN MENU.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
LEVEL STRUCTURE
|
|||
|
|
---------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THERE ARE 3 LEVELS OF PLAY. I SUGGEST THAT YOU START OUT ON THE
|
|||
|
|
EASIEST LEVEL OR THE COMPUTER WILL BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOU. CHANCES
|
|||
|
|
ARE IT WILL DO THAT ANYWAY.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
SCENARIOS
|
|||
|
|
---------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
GAME WILL END AFTER THE 20,21, OR 22 TURN. THE IS A 50% CHANCE IT
|
|||
|
|
WILL END ON TURN 21, AND A 25% CHANCE FOR TURNS 20 AND 22.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ADVANCE TO COMBAT:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NEITHER PLAYER CAN GET AIR SUPERIORITY FOR THE FIRST 2 TURNS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
INVASION:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
THE RUSSIAN PLAYER HAS AIR SUPERIORITY FOR THE FIRST 2 TURNS. IN TURN
|
|||
|
|
0, THE NATO PLAYER HAS THE OPTION OF SETTING UP HIS FORCES. THE
|
|||
|
|
RUSSIAN SIDE PLACES 2 DROP ZONES FOR PARATROOPERS. IT IS A GOOD IDEA
|
|||
|
|
TO PLACE THESE APART, BECAUSE IF A UNIT ATTEMPTS TO LAND ON A STACK,
|
|||
|
|
IT WILL FAIL TO ARRIVE AND BE LOST FOREVER.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
VICTORY
|
|||
|
|
-------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
VICTORY IS ATTAINED BY WHO CONTROLS THE MOST VILLAGES, TOWN, ETC.
|
|||
|
|
USUALLY, WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING AND ONE SIDE IS KILLING THE OTHER, IT IS
|
|||
|
|
BORING TO CONTINUE ANYHOW.
