moves (injured); and that if he is hit by rifle-fire or captured he
shall quit the game, and be succeeded by his next subordinate.


Now as to the Moves.

It is suggested that:
Infantry shall move one foot.
Cavalry shall move three feet.
The above moves are increased by one half for troops in twos
or fours on a road.
Royal Engineers shall move two feet.
Royal Artillery shall move two feet.
Transport and Supply shall move one foot on roads, half foot
across country.
The General shall move six feet (per motor), three feet across country.
Boats shall move one foot.
In moving uphill, one contour counts as one foot; downhill, two
contours count as one foot. Where there are four contours to one
foot vertical the hill is impassable for wheels unless there is a road.

Infantry.
To pass a fordable river = one move.
To change from fours to two ranks = half a move.
To change from two ranks to extension = half a move.
To embark into boats = two moves for every twenty men
embarked at any point.
To disembark = one move for every twenty men.

Cavalry.
