Regts and commands carried on sqds are considered to be in supply as long as the fleet is in supply, otherwise they will suffer attrition.
Weather will increase the cost of supplying a fleet (which can be assumed to be the cost of misc repairs and replacements suffered from travel, as well as the cost of actual food.) The cost modifiers are as follows:

Force Interaction and Zones of Control
AlI commands will have a zone of control extending out two hexes from the hex they occupy. This may be interrupted by terrain, enemy forces and prohibited hexes (alI land hexes for sqds etc). At the end of each indicated movement phase, see Sequence of Play, each hex with a command in it will search its zone of control and make reports.
A forces ZOC always extends into the six adjacent hexes unless impassable, such as an alI sea hex to land forces. The second ring of hexes are Iimited. Your ZOC will not extend into second ring hexes if it is mountain, hills or forest terrain. Further, ZOC will not extend through hiIIs, forest or mountains into a second hex. The following diagrams will give examples
Your orders will allow you to react in various ways toward enemy forces if detected in this way. These Interaction Orders should be given to alI field commands and will remain active until changed. The options are as fol lows:
Advance toward any enemy force encountered (largest if more than one).
Advance toward any enemy force encountered (smallest if more than one).
Advance toward first allied force encountered and join.
Follow first enemy force encountered.
Follow first allied force encountered.
Retreat from any enemy force encountered.
A command on withdraw orders cannot be given options 1 or 2, these will convert to 6 instead. A routing force has its Interaction Order wiped and changed to option 6. Default option will be 4
Players should use these instructions in conjunction with their other orders, for eg. a force of 20 regts is on Skirmish Orders with a modifier of 1, for each 0.5 odds. They have an interaction order of 'B'. They encounter a force of 50 regts, this pushes their battle orders to Withdraw due to the modifier. With these orders their interaction order changes to 'F' and they retreat from the enemy immediately.
The intelligent use of these commands is part of the skill of the game. First is defined as the nearest if there is a conflict, otherwise largest.
Scouting
All Divisions and Fleets will scout their zones of control to gather reports on enemy forces and activities. The depth of this report will depend entirely on what the scouting value of the command is. The following units have the listed scouting value.

ZONES OF CONTROL AND SCOUTING ORRERS.
~ ~'>~
fig 1.
fig 5.
the zone of control of a unit extends out two hexes from the hex it occupies as illustrated in fig 1. The ZOC also determines the hexes that you receive a scouting report from. Terrain however may restrict your scouting reports to some extent. in figs 2 and 3 above the black areas are blocked from scouting due to rough terrain in the first hex ring. The dark bordered hexes are blocked from scouting for the same reason OR because they are rough terrain in a second ring hex
.~.
The hex grid of the map is aligned slightly differently than above but the arrow indicates directly 'up' on the map. The compass directions used for movement are shown in relation to that direction. The second figure shows a move by a unit which would read - 6, 5, 5, 1, 1.
1. Rttack - 808.
2. SO i rm i sh - 605.
3. Probe - 40P.
4. Retire - 204.
5. W I thdraw - 081.
6. LOC Duty - 20:~;.
The default option is 3. Probe.
B Any and al I commands may be Asks i goad a Audi f i or to the above order, relating the odds involved in the battle. Pla'Jers may select from 3 levels of modi f ions as fol lows:
1. Modify order ogle level for each 0.5 odds level difference
2. Modifg order one level for each 1 0 odds level difference.
3. DO not modify orders.
The default option is 1.
C Formation: Sleets may also be assigned a formation of attack, each formation Hi 11 yield a different effect. The formations however are linked to fleet morale which will be represented by your country morale. The higher your morale is over the required morale level the better will be your performance, up to a point. The higher level formations however are comparatively better than the lower.

The difference in MA of the commanders of the fleets will have a significant effect on the battle result, more so than ir, land combat. The victor of Q battle will sometimes be awarded some captured sqds. He must escort these back to a friendly port where they will yield half their building cost in tlts. They are treated in all ways as prisoners.

Movement along a river past an unfriendly city is not allowed. Rli rivers marked on the map are navigable for a number of hexes equivalent to the number wri tten at the river mouth. Further- up the river is not navigable. Should a sqd meet an enemg division on a river then the sqds must in,mediatel4 withdraw one hex down stream. Sqds may not move past such a force. Otherwise the only time sqds and regEs wag interact in combat is during the siege of a city.
Fleets must end each turr, A-, a port or partial land hex or river hex or suffer attrition. Ships of this period were not capable of extended voyages and were not very sea worthy. If the hex they end the mo've in has any enen,y land force within two hexes then the fleet must remain at sea in that hex cod will suffer atb itio~1. This will not appig on rivers.

Each of the various types of sqds has a supply value, as I isted on the Naval Units Table. This value is total led to give the number of tlts that must be expended on any turn that a fleet does not end the move in a friendly port.

Band (SttppI~.
The major source of supply in Midgard is cities. Rll units eventuali4 derive supply from friendly cities. There are several forms of supply, each related to the others in some way.
Supply Bases: ail friendly cities are considered to be supply bases, this includes another p i avers c i t i es i f he i 5 your a I I y. Ray on i t i n a c i to hex on Gary i son orders i 5 a I wags i n supply Winless under siege Divisions ending their turn in a friendly city will be considered to be supplied along with the troops that belong ta them. Scouting Commands and shore using Strategic Movement do not need supply. Hazel suppig is di fferent and explained later.
Supplu Fc,ints: most cities will also have suppig points in the form of stores (SP). Rn SP is a representation of the capacity of the city to resupply a Division command, or to withstand blockade. h numeric value will be assigned to each city ranging from O to 4, this will be the number of SP each city will produce each qtr. Rt the e~,d of each qtr and remaining SPs will be lost and replaced by the new qtrs production. During Hinter however the number of SP produced Hi 11 be reduced by 1.
R single SP Hi 11 be used up e~`erytin,e a Divisic,n resuppl ies its Organic Supply (OS) at that city. Resupply will restore the OS back to full value 5 points. R captured cities SP is freely useable by the captor. R Division command may not resupply if it has full OS at the time.
R random number of SPs Hi 11 be awarded to each country during none winter qtrs, the player must allocate these spare points to his own cities, as he chases.
Organ i c Supp I U & Forage: on i y D i v i s i on commands may forage. O i v i s i ons w i I I gather forage each week for the regts that belong to it. It will also supply regts belonging to it from its own store of suppl ins. This store is known as the Organic Supply (OS) and is represented by a
numeric value. Rt ful I C-ClpaCi to the Os is: S. During ~ week that the Division dome not end the seek at Q friendly city hex, or gather enough forage, then the OS rating will be used up to compensate .
To extend the usefulness of the OS the Olulslon may gather forage from the surrounding cour,trgside. Rt the end of the week the computer Hi 11 examine the hex the Division occupies and the six hexes around it. The Division will gain the full forage value of the hex it occupies plus half the total value of the surrounding hexes (down). If a Dlvislon does not col Fact 5 points of forage during a week it must lose the diff~rance from its OS, up to a maximum of 2 points per week.
The forage `,alues of the hexes is as fol lows:

Supply Trains: these may be built at a cost of 100 tlts and one city SP. In effect you make the SP into a unit, with 3 movement points, moving as if it were cavalry R supply train will have o11 the abilities that or, SP would have.

See Land Supp I U for de ta i I s.
Divisions may in turn be assigned to an Rrmy Command, which in turn may be assigned to a Task Force con,n,and. When commands have been assigned to a higher command it accepts the orders and instr-uctions of that command.
The movement of commands and their regts is expressed he '~elation to the hex grid covering the map. Each hex has 5 di fferent sides that a command may exi t from. Each of these sides will be identified by a number from 1 to b. R movement instruction to a command can thus be simply stated by a string of numbers, the command fol lowing the directions across the hex grid accordingly. The number '0' may also be used to indicate no movement is to occur during that phase. Players may optional Iy give a destination hex number and the computer Hi 11 move toward that destination via a straight I ine route, regardless of terrain. If the terrain is impassable then they simply stop. Certain other special movement commands are I isted below.
The r-,umber of movement points each rest has is listed on the Army Units Table. The movement capacity of commands has teen listed previously. The cost to enter each hex for each unit is as f c I i owe .

Unit- must have the required movement points or they cannot enter the hex.
Cit,=~, the cost to enter a city hex represents the fact that with friendly cities the force ail' stop and resupply thus avoiding the need to forage. With enemy cities it represents the natural caution the commander has when approaching such a structure.
Roads cancel al I other terrain except cities, cities cancel al I other terrain.
Forced [lurching: a command can expend up to half again its normal movement allowance (rounded up) in a week if it wishes to, however it will collect no forage at all that week. Each rest that does forced march will have a 1 in 20 chance of suffering attrition and dying. If they forced march for a second or mote consecutive weeks the chance will increase to 1 In 10. To perform a FM simply use an 'F8' order during movement at the appropriate place in the sequence of play. The # stands for the direction taken, the F that it is a movement during a FM phase. If even one 'F#' command is used then the entire force is considered to have force marched. Hot all FM phases will be able to be used by some units, infantry receive onig 2 FM points and therefor may only use two possible FM phases.
Land fc,i ces may be carried aboard sqds for movement and in some cases combat. Each sqd Hi 11 have a listed Ca~ryM~g Capacity which represents the number of regts a sqd can carry, regal dlQss of type. P,eqts aboard sqds do not participate in naval combats in any fashion and 'could be lost if some vessels were sunk and the carrying capacity of the fleet lowered To embarks Hi i I cost the land forces nothing, this is paid by the naval force. Land forces maul disen,t..:~rk at no cost also, again this is paid by the naval force. Note however that the seq'.`ence of play Hi 11 decide whether and how much the land forces may move as the naval force expends i to movement throughout the turn.
You Er.:ay only embark and disembark to and from a suitable command. Regts may be embarked from a city or Division to a fleet without having a command (they are carried by the fleet
it:
ten~porar i lo assigned but not in a true sense>, to disembark thou must do I ikewise, you could not disembark them onto a hex that did not have a command unit capable of accepting them. Scc,,.~ting regts without a command cannot be given a Movement Order so may oniu be embarked and di~n,barked via the Tranr.fc~r activity, which occurs onhJ at the beginning of a wash, or by a Special Transfer after an assar.dt.
R=gts a,,J Sqds wag combir,e to attaci. a city, this is the oniu time that lard and sea forces car, combat each other. Regts aboard the fleet without their own command will use the fleet con,n,ar,der. Reqts aboard fleets thus follow its commands. If a Division were present aboard the fleet with its rests however then the average of the two would be used as divisions car,r~c,t be assigned to fleets or arn,adas (a Task Force would be needed).
To embark to a fleet the land commar,d is simpig mooted to the embarkation hex and given an E8' movement order, the # being the naval command to carrg the force. If the naval command does not halve sufficient cadging capacity the-, the land command will not be loaded. You cannot or der one land command onto two naval commands, onig one number mag be given. To maximise the use of goon fleets it is suggested they be combined under an Ramada command who then assumes the total carrying capaciDJ of all its fleets. More then one land command wag be ass i gned to a s i rig I e nave I cc,mmand.
Rt the same time the trar,sporting naval command must be moved to the embarkation hex and giver-, an 'E' movement order, it will load the appropriate land commands.
To disembark a force simpig move it to the appropriate hex and give the naval command a D.' order, the number indicating the land command to be unloaded. The land commands once disembarked Hi 11 attempt to complete and movement commands I isted for it. These commands must be after an E.. movement order, or if the land command began the week embarked then the movement command is simply performed from the beginning.
You any NOT use o Transfer order to embark or d i sewbark cowaunds You eaLI however use u Special Transfer order to do so after an ussualt.
