Commander Orders
I need help understanding the relationship between a commander's battle orders and the battle orders of troops under his command.
I can give my commander an (attack)(attack)retreat order (I presume this means he attacks for 2 rounds and then retreats.
If I give a squad of archers under his command a "Fire at Archers" command do they also retreat after 2 rounds of attack? Or do they just stand there and keep firing until they break or are slaughtered?
I'm facing slow troops and know I can get off 2-3 volleys of arrows before they reach me so rather than Fire and Flee I want to fire for 2-3 rounds and then flee. But obviously I don't want my commander to abandon his archers on the field.
I've got some hoplites under this commander too and I want them to cover the retreat. Attack and Flee?
Help would be most appreciated!
