Reserve Order Redux

Message par viperofmilan » dim. 24 janv. 2021 13:32

Further questions about the reserve order.

Under Entry of reserve divisions on page 68 in the English RAW we read,

the C-in-C must spend a CP in the strategic command phase

the player automatically places an order marker at the division entry point

the order is automatically applied

units entering may charge or fire at the enemy immediately

units entering the table may make an operational move

So far so good. My questions are these:

Page 41 indicates that only a division with reserve orders can make an operational move.

but on-table units under reserve orders cannot move

so must an off-table unit retain it's reserve order in order to make operational moves?

can any off-table unit, no matter what order it is given make operational moves?

is any operational move paid for by the divisional commander expending a single CP, or does the C-in-C's CP expenditure to activate the division cover this?

Thanks for any insight.

In Poitiers ( not in france :lol: ) we play it like this.

CIC paid 1 PC to place the order marker.

IF i want to make a Operational move I keep the RESERVE ORDER and my division is activate during the MANEUVER activation. At the end of the Operational Move, i give "freely" my new ORDER.

otherwise , i place the ORDER MARKER and activate my division regarding to the ORDER.

You must be in RESERVE MODE to make an operational move.

Divisional commander.
CIC only paid for placing the order marker.
