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 2007-04-01T20:49:39+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://full-moon.info/doku.php/rules/clwg/1689/rules Orange or Lemon? - Game Mechanics Each complete game turn represents one day of the sitting of the Convention.
