The game relies on the integrity of the individual players to show consideration for other players and to abide by the rules. All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy and sportsmanship at all times, irrespective of how competitive they may be.

These should not usually change every game turn. They should also have a posture which may well change from turn to turn as they carry out the orders. Orders can be changed only by a senior officer.
