During each turn, both sides roll for initiative. The player winning initiative must then activate one unit. Players then alternate activating units until all units have been activated. Activating a unit allows the unit to take one Double Action, or to take one Movement Action and one Standard Action (in either order).
Movement Actions: Move, Recover, Reform, Retire, Retreat
Standard Actions: Fire, Rally, Reload, Search for Ammo
