Halt -The selected unit(s) halt where they are.

Formation - Change the selected unit(s) organisation (See Quick Guide
to Unit Formations section on p.45) to choose between

Close/Loose/Wedge formations.

Hold Position - The selected unit(s) attempt to hold their ground as
long as possible. Their defensive attributes increase though their offensive

attributes suffer as a result.

Melee Mode - Choose three types of melee mode for your selected units
to adopt: Skirmish/Hold Formation/Engage at Will.

Fire At Will - Only active when a unit with projectile weaponry is
selected.

Rally - Your Taisho (or you in the Daimyo’s role) can attempt to rally
routing troops. The honour level of the individual leader determines

success. Once units have been successfully rallied, they can be ordered in

the normal fashion. 

Note: The Rally button is only available a limited number of times in a battle,
when not available it is greyed out.

Use any of the control methods or combine them to tailor the interface to your

own preference. In the heat of battle, the ability to issue multiple orders quickly

and accurately will offer the sure-footed general a distinct advantage.

There are three methods of accessing orders:

Icon Menu Bar – Visual method with tooltips. Select unit/s and then
click the icon to give an order.

Drop Down Menu – Select unit then right-click. Click when you have
highlighted the desired order.

Keyboard shortcuts – Press the respective keyboard shortcut to issue
the order.

* Note: You must select more than one unit for these options to become 

available
