Land Movement, Air Movement, and
Naval Movement. Each of these areas are
explained below.

Land Movement
In the integrated Movement and Combat
Phase, all units of the active player can
continue moving and fighting until their
Action Points (AP) are exhausted. A unit
can be moved more than once, not hav-
ing to spend its entire Action Points at
one time. At any given time only a single
unit can be located in a given hex. A unit
receives its maximum Action Points
unless any of the situations apply below:

Normal Movement
When moving into an empty adjacent
hex, units pay the AP cost shown on the
Terrain Table. If a unit is conducting
infiltration movement, which is moving
from a hex which is adjacent to an
enemy unit directly into another hex
which is adjacent to an enemy unit, the
unit must pay one additional AP.

from a hex which is adjacent to an
enemy unit directly into another hex
which is adjacent to an enemy unit, the
unit must pay one additional AP.
Overrun Movement
If you try to move into an adjacent hex
which is occupied by an enemy unit, this
is called an Overrun. Overrun costs no
AP for movement, but a single AP for the
Combat. A unit can always Overrun as
long as it has a remaining AP. The over-
running unit does not advance into the
hex if the enemy unit is destroyed or
has retreated.

Reserve Movement
In the first two impulses you can move a
limited number of units strategically
over an unlimited number of hexes. To
do so move the cursor over the unit you
wish to move, click the left button twice
to access the unit, and select RESERVE.
Note: The unit must be placed back on
the map in the same impulse using the

Note: The unit must be placed back on
the map in the same impulse using the

option. However, you must place
the unit in a friendly-controlled hex in or
adjacent to a city which is in the same
partition as the original hex of the unit.
See the section “Supply Partitions” on
page 31 for more details. To use Reserve
Movement a unit must have at least a
supply value of >3, a morale of 25, one
remaining AP, and have not conducted
an assault.

Units on the Map
Land combat units have two numbers
printed on their counters. The left num-
ber is the effective ground combat
strength, rounded to the closest whole
number. The right number is the amount
of remaining Action Points (AP) which
can be used to move and attack. A unit’s
efficiency is a representation of the unit’s
training and leadership. The supply value
(0-9) represents the current supply status
of the unit. A unit’s morale is a result of a
printed on their counters. The left num-
ber is the effective ground combat
strength, rounded to the closest whole
number. The right number is the amount
of remaining Action Points (AP) which
can be used to move and attack. A unit’s
efficiency is a representation of the unit’s
training and leadership. The supply value
(0-9) represents the current supply status
of the unit. A unit’s morale is a result of a
unit’s efficiency and supply values. The
air units also have two numbers. The left
number is the effective air combat
strength, rounded to the next full num-
ber. The right number is the number of
air strikes remaining. Although not
shown on the counter, all air units have
an effective strength of one ground com-
bat point if attacked. Naval units are not
represented by counters on the map.
They can be accessed in the Navy Menu
and the Naval Formation Menu.
