Artillery move and unlimber

General Reynier (Gifted) – 6CP – Engage Orders

Change orders to Move

Double move towards town for corps column

Reynier moves towards cavalry brigade

Notes on Game

Kleist changes his orders to Engage as he is not deployed to attack

Reynier changes his orders to Move to avoid having to move his cavalry any closer to the enemy artillery and square

Orders which are suitable for the campaign are often inappropriate on the table. It is usually best to start the game on Move orders so that the corps can deploy without having to engage the enemy too soon.
