4. ACTIVATION 4.1 Activation Markers (AMs) (4.��)Activationmarkersareusedtodeterminewhichplayermay “go”, and what units he may then use. Each ActivationMarker (AM) represents the superior Command level for aparticularunit,orgroupofunits,asindicatedonthe2ndlineofeachcounter.

Play Note: Some AMs activate the units of one Leader, some AMs activate the units of all Leaders in a corps. Each scenario has a set of specific rules.

Example: The Antietam AM for Franklin/VI Corps would apply to—and activate—all Union units whose Activation Indicator is “VI”.

(4.�2) All Commands have two AMs. There are, however,severalexceptions,whicharecoveredinthescenariorulesintheBattleBook.

4.2 How AMs are Used (4.2�) Unless otherwise indicated in the scenario rules, eachCommandthathasatleastoneCombatUnit,eitheronthemaporavailabletoenterasareinforcement,willhavethatCommand’sAM(s)availableforthatturn.MostCommandshavetwoAMs;somehaveoneforspecificturns.TheInitiativePlayersecretlyselectsoneofhisavailableAMsforuseasthefirstCommandtoactivatethatturn.Then,allotheravailableAMschosenbyeach player to be played this turn are secretly placed in anopaquecup (or similarcontainer)—ThePool—in theMarkerSelectionPhase.

Play Note: A player may choose each turn to place any or all of his available AMs into The Pool.

(4.22)InthefirstsegmentoftheActivationPhaseaftertheInitia-tivePlayerhasgone,oneoftheplayers(itdoesn’tmatterwhichplayer)draws,randomlyandblindly,oneAMfromThePool.ThatAMdesignateswhichcommand’sunitsareactivated.Onlyunitsfromthedrawncommandmaybeactivated.

Example: Cedar Creek: The Union Player has drawn his VI Corps AM, and he wishes to combine the divisions of Getty (CA of 2) and Ricketts (CA of 2). The total CA is ‘4’, so he would need a DR of 5 or more to combine. If he rolls a ‘4’ or less, all of Getty’s and Ricketts’ units are Out of Command.

8. COMBAT There are three types of combat: Artillery Fire, Charge andDefensive Fire. Infantry and cavalry Charge; artillery cannotCharge—theyFire.Defendinginfantry,dismountedcavalry,andartillerythatarebeingchargedmayuseDefensiveFire.

Design Note: Most combat in the Civil War consisted of short-range firefights. Charging and engaging in face-to-face, hand-to-hand melee was, while not rare, somewhat unusual— more so as the war progressed. The game term “Charge” covers all of this in one handy die roll (plus the defending unit’s reaction).

9. ARTILLERY FIRE 9.1 In General(9.��)RANGE:Therearethreetypesofartilleryunits,delin-eatedby range:Short (S),Medium (M), andLong (L).Eachtypehasthecapabilityoffiringattargetsthataremorethanonehex away, but the allowable distance differs by type. As pertheArtilleryRangeChart,thefartherawayatargetis,themorenegativetheDRM.

(9.�2) WHEN: Artillery units may Fire once when activated(ActivationFire).TheymayReturnFire(9.�3)onceduringeachenemyActivationPhase(i.e.,onceperenemyAM).TheymayalsouseDefensiveFire(�0.3)(againstany,some,orallunitschargingit)onceduringeachenemyActivation(i.e.,onceperLeader/CommandorCombinedActivation).However,Disor-deredartillerymaynotfire.

Play Note: When being charged, artillery uses Defensive Fire; see 10.3. This is not Return Fire, so an artillery unit fired at by an enemy battery may Return Fire and then may use Defensive Fire if charged.

9.2 Procedure(9.2�)ArtillerymayFireatanytargetwithinitsRangeandLineofSight.Artilleryfiringatarangeoftwohexesormore—countedfromgunstotarget,notcountingthehexthefiringunitisin—canfireonlyiftheycanseethetarget(see9.4:LineofSight).

Example: [Chancellorsville]. An “M” unit is stacked with an “L” unit, and they both want to combine fire at a target that is 5 hexes distant. The DRM would be +2 for combined fire, but –1 for the range effect of the “M” guns (not the “0” for the “L”s).

Inallcases,ifLOSistracedalongahexsidethatbordersanyoftheaboveblockedLOSoneitherside,theLOSisconsideredblocked.

Play Note: Only some battlefields have steep and/or sheer slopes (e.g., Antietam has both; Cedar Creek has steep slopes; and Chancellorsville, Chickamauga, Fredericksburg, Manas-sas and Salem Church have neither). The vertices of a steep or sheer slope hexside are considered to be part of the steep or sheer slope hexside.

Example: Antietam Map: LOS is blocked from 2313 to 2311. LOS is blocked from 2012 to 2010 through 2000. LOS is blocked from 4617 to 4613 through 4609. LOS is clear from 4617 to 4608 through 4600. LOS is blocked from 2110 to 2409 through 2508. LOS is clear from 2110 to 2608 through 2707.

Example: Chancellorsville Map: LOS is blocked from C-4116 to C-4114. LOS is blocked from C-4217 to C-4615 through C-6008.

Example: Fredericksburg Map: LOS is blocked from F-5422 to F-5413 through F-5402. LOS is clear from F-5422 to F-5401 through F-5400.

9.5 Misguided Friendly Fire (9.5�)Thepresenceofunitsbetweenafiringunitandtarget,whereoneofthelatterishigherthantheinterveningunits,doesnotblockLOS,regardlessoftherelativepositionsofthethree.However,ifanintervening,occupiedhexisadjacenttothetargethex,andtheoccupyingunitsarefriendlytothefiringunit,thereisapossibilitythattheartilleryfirehitsthosefriendlyunits,notthetarget.

• ArtilleryandDisorderedunitsmaynotbeusedtoCover• UnitsfromdifferentCommands/Leadersmaynotcoverfor

eachotherunlesstheyareusingCombinedAction.• ThebottomunitinaStackcannotbeusedtoCover.

Design Note: The “covering” units are keeping those enemy units busy with their presence, usually in the form of sporadic fire, etc.

Play Note: Covering units do not have to Charge; their simple presence keeps the attention of the covered enemy units away from the other attacks. Also, the covered enemy units remain covered even if the covering unit is subsequently Disordered (11.12) due to Defensive Fire (10.3).

10.2 Resolving a Charge (�0.2�)Theattackingplayermustdesignateallcharges,andallunitsparticipating,beforeresolvinganycharges.

Example Continued:

After Defensive Fire the two Confederate units may conduct their charge. Note that Unit X was removed to the Withdrawn Box. The strength/odds ratio is 9 to 6 (3–2) which provides a +1 DRM. The difference between the two highest cohesion levels is three which provides a +3 DRM. There are no other applicable DRMs. A die roll of 5 is modified to 9 which results in the Union unit retreating and undergoing a CCDR. Unit Z must advance.

Example Continued:

The defender (Union player) conducts his Defensive Fire (DF) first, before the attacker (Confederate) conducts his Charges. Units A, B and C use DF against unit X. There are no applicable DRMs. All three DFs require a die roll of 8 or 9 to Disorder the attacker. Two are successful, resulting in two Disorder results against unit X—causing it to Withdraw.Unit D could DF against both units Y and Z with a –1 modi-fier, but in this case it is better to just DF against Y (a –1 modifier would make it impossible to hit Z with a cohesion rating of 8). The die roll is a 7 which is unsuccessful (a die roll of 8 or 9 was necessary). This concludes the Defensive Fire for these units.

Play Note: Stacked units eligible to DF must do so together at the same target hex(s) with a single die roll for each target hex. When two infantry/dismounted Cavalry units are stacked, the bottom unit contributes no positive or negative DRMs to DF even if the bottom unit is disordered.

Example: 7 SP Charging 3 SP, both on the same level with the defender in Clear Terrain, would be rounded up to 3–1.

Design Note: This reflects the reality of the drawback of defend-ing out in the middle of “nowhere” vis a vis the style of warfare. Note that when a charging unit is in Clear Terrain, the defender gets a +1 DRM when using Defensive Fire.

Example: In Antietam, a single infantry unit Charges two enemy infantry units that are in adjacent hexes at an odds ratio of 1:1 and a cohesion differential of zero. One of the defending units is located in clear terrain that is one level lower than the Charging unit (a cumulative DRM of +1). The other defending unit is in a Woods hex that is at the same level as the Charging unit, but this defending unit is being Charged through one of its Rear Hexes (a cumulative DRM of +0). A DRM of +0 is applied to the Charge Resolution DR since it is the single most beneficial cumulative DRM for the defender.

11.4 Withdrawal Design Note: The word “Rout”, originally used in the Glory I Series Rules, seemed to confuse some gamers; they envisioned bug-eyed soldiers streaming away from battle, tossing aside anything they could to gain speed. That’s not what we wanted to “simulate.” So we changed the word. Withdrawal refers to a unit’s inability to stay in combat, whether from losses, fatigue, or simply it’s just “had it.”
