First part of the Orders phase is the movement sub-phase.

In this part, players may choose to move to a new location within there movement range or they may perform a ‘movement’ action.
Commands for this sub-phase are ‘Move to XYZ’, Engage Target, Snipe, Search Thoroughly & Stealth

*Some of these action have prerequisites such as holding a long range weapon or a target being in you zone of control.
This is correct. You have some moves you can do in place of movement (Engage target, Snipe) or you can do while moving or not moving (Stealth, cooperation, Search... the usual suspects)


Second part of the Orders phase is the action sub-phase.

IF you decide to move to another location you must choose an action to perform at the new location.
Commands for this phase are: Berserker, Assassinate, Vigilante, Stealth Vigilante, Defensive, Stealth, Search quickly & Cooperate.

*The above actions are not available if you have chosen one of the following moment commands: Engage Target, Snipe, Search Thoroughly & Stealth.
Well you can quick search, which is smiliar, and you can stealth in either one. It's complicated, but you got the gist of what my ideas were. I wish I were better at explaining them ...

Third part of the Orders phase is the Battle Mode sub-phase.

This phase decides your actions if you are engaged in a battle after the movement phase. The two available commands are: Run Away & Stand Ground.
Yes. You tell me if and when you run away, or I assume that you do run away immediately. Otherwise you could find yourself dead due to misspeaking. Standing your ground is if you really think you can win a battle, or if you have a bunch of your buddies who can also fight well standing ground with you. Running away can scatter your party if you have one, but it beats death.


I do have some questions that lead from this.

What happens when two people decide to use the ‘Engage target’ movement command against each other? Will they each perform one round of combat or fight to the death or perhaps will this be decided by what they have decided by their battle mode setting?
If they engage target at each other, they will definitely battle, and they will run if and when one of them says so.

I am guessing it is possible to do hit and runs. Aka go into berserker mode hit everybody with a first strike and set battle mode to run away so that you run away when you are counter attacked (if the target has ‘Stand Ground’ mode set)
Exactly. Hit and run could be very useful.

What happens if two people move to the same square with Berserker mode set? Is it the detail of the orders that decides who hit’s who, dice or what the battle mode is set to?
In case of no first strike being gained, neither has the first strike and they simply battle each other simultaneously.

How does group combat differ? What happens if I am in a group of 5 allies and we all arrive at the same square with vigilante mode set and there are a 2 zombies or non-humans present? Could our combined first strikes take them out?
It is possible!

What happens if it doesn’t and we all have our battle mode set to hold ground? Who attacks what? Do two allies fight against the two zombies while the other 3 twiddle their thumbs? Or will it be 5 attacks on one zombie then 5 on the next?
Every person on each team scores a strike against every person on the other.

1 versus 3 means the one guy attacks three different people. The three all attack the one person. So there's 3 hits on one side, 3 hits on the other side, but the team side is hit once per person and the loner gets hit 3 times.

If the one loner really kicks butt at combat, it's possible for him or her to annihilate the other 3.

However, the one guy will probably take damage due to the number of hits he takes.

You can die quick in this game if you get attacked by a horde of stuff.

Sorry for all the questions
I prefer the questions answered, than anyone feeling lost or confused. I want you to be confident and enthusiastic in what you do.

Your enjoyment and the fairness of the game are my top priorities.
