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. So a platoon commander needs to be given orders by their own Company Commander and they in turn must give orders to their section commanders that are in line with the orders that they have been given. text/html 2007-03-19T21:29:58+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.full-moon.info/doku.php/rules/clwg/1689/convention/jamesvii Letter of King James VII to the Scottish Convention March 1, 1689 King James VII wrote this letter while he was aboard the St Michael on the way to Ireland.

Overview/Introduction I would like to do a wargame that works with a team of players in the key appointments in a WW2 infantry company.
