Game Notes

Both sides have again made use of multiple moves to deploy.

Multiple moves are allowed providing there is no enemy within 16”

Rule 5 covers movement

7^th corps are on Hold orders. 

They are out of range of the enemy and  would like to advance into artillery range.

To do so the CinC must first change their orders to Move or Engage

2^nd Spanish corps are still out of sight of the French commanders, so they are not allowed to react until  the Spanish move into sight.
