FIRESTORM BATTLETECH: General's Phase

The General's Phase is where all the strategic level decisions get made, and orders to the commanders are given.

Order One: Planning Phase

1. Plan Your Stretegy - Each General must decide what his forces key objective are in addition to the obvious ones. The Black Dragon rebels and the Loyalist DCMS forces are both eagre to control the Imperial Palace Grounds as an obvious symbol of Combine government. The other must control facility is the 'Voice of the Dragon' complex, where all citizens of the combine hear messages from the coordinator. The Black Dragons use it to spread their propoganda and urge for their reinforcements, while the Loyalists need them silenced.

The Word of Blake on the other hand is rather secretive in their agenda, leaving their specifc goals and mission objectives up to the Generals discretion.

2. Write Your Battle Plan

3. Brief Your Commanders

Order Two: Battle Step

See Commanders Phase.

Order Three: Strategic Phase

1. Air Allocation - Tactical Air Mission Assignments may be conducted in initiative order by all Generals. This includes Interdiction & Close Air Support assignments.

2. Make Exploitation Moves - Units in Bad Condition (Red) may not make exploitation moves.

3. Bring In Reserves/Reinforcments

4. Make Strategic Moves - Units in Bad Condition (Red) may only make a strategic move into a hex not bordered by an enemy controlled hex.

5. Total Your Victory Points
