Some tiles also have special traits that can affect their whole unit or army.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basic rules of the game are fairly simple: Two armies face each other in battle.

Attacks are made by using Order Tokens. If no Order Tokens are present on a unit, it costs just one token to issue orders to that unit. Issuing orders to the same unit in the same Battle Round costs you the number of tokens present on the unit, plus one.
