RESERVE
(R) removes the unit from the
map and places it in Reserve. It costs one
transport point to place a unit in reserve.
Reserve movement is allowed only dur-
ing the first or second impulses. After a
unit is placed into reserve, you can take
the unit out of reserve by moving the
map cursor to an empty hex on or adja-
cent to a city. Access the NEW option on
the Main Menu. The hex cannot be in an
enemy ZOC and the hex must be
friendly-controlled. All reserve units
must be deployed out of reserve before
you can end your turn. The unit must
have a supply level greater than zero to
be put in reserve.
