## Rules questions

### How do units move — can I move then attack, and how many action points does a move cost?

The provided rulebook only contains full-page map sheets and no rules text, so it does not specify movement/activation or action-point costs (see rulebook pages 1–5).

### How is combat resolved — what dice do I roll and how are hits calculated?

The rulebook files available here are map pages only and include no combat resolution rules or dice mechanics (see rulebook pages 1–5).

### How do I determine line of sight and range for firing — do woods or buildings block sight?

The published pages for this product are board maps showing woods and buildings but contain no text describing line-of-sight or range rules, so the rulebook pages do not answer this (see rulebook pages 1–5).

### How do I set up scenarios and what are the victory conditions for each scenario?

The documents available are only the full-board map sheets and contain no scenario setup instructions or victory-condition text, so the rulebook pages do not include scenario rules (see rulebook pages 1–5).

### What do the map symbols mean — what effects do roads, green hexes (woods), tan buildings, rings and dashed lines have?

The map pages visually show roads (grey lines), woods (green hexes), buildings (tan/grey footprints), objective rings and dashed contours, but the rulebook provided has no accompanying explanations of their game effects or terrain rules (see rulebook pages 1–5).
