The first game turn

 

This is the basic sequence for playing a turn:

VIEW RESULTS

Press the ‘View Results’ button and watch the action. It is normally beneficial to pause, rewind and watch the action on different parts of the map, especially if there is a lot going on. Sometimes it may be beneficial to rewind one or two turns just to check if enemy units were spotted that have since become hidden, but may still be a threat to your troops.

On the first game turn you will just see your units deployed, and nothing moving, even though the turn still lasts ten seconds. Things will start to happen quickly next turn, so don't be impatient.

ISSUE ORDERS



Press the ‘Issue Orders’ button to begin issuing movement and combat orders for your units.

TEST ORDERS

Press the ‘Test Orders’ button to test the orders of your units. You can go back to ‘Issue Orders’ to add or revise your orders. You can even go back to ‘View Results’ to check previous turns again.

END TURN



Press the ‘End Turn’ button when you are satisfied with your orders. In an online game, the Laser Squad Nemesis software will send the orders to the central game servers.
