NOT IN TRANS MODE
|
||
NOT SIGHTED BY AN ENEMY UNIT

|
||
A HIDDEN UNIT THAT IS SIGHTED BY AND ENEMY UNIT OR MOVES ADJACENT TO

NIGHT (MAXIMUM OF 2 HEXES)
|
||
IN SMOKE

DELAYED MOVE

|
||
A UNIT GIVEN A DELAYED MOVE IN THE ORDER PHASE OF ITS TURN MAY MOVE
|
||
DURING THE ENEMIES TURN. UNITS IN FIRE MODE WILL ATTEMPT TO FIRE AT
|
||
OTHERS AND UNITS IN NORM MODE WILL ATTACK. THE PROBABILITY THAT AN
|
||
ENEMY UNIT WILL ACTIVATE AN ENEMY UNIT IN DELAYED MOVE DEPENDS IN THE
|
||
NUMBER OF DELAYED UNITS WITHIN 5 HEXES.

-----
|
||
|
