I'm putting together forces for battles set in the Irish campaign and aiming to have around three foot and four cavalry brigades per side. The objective is to be able to put on multi-player games with players commanding as C-in-C and as Brigadiers.
Having read through BLB several times I still have a couple of questions, mainly in relation to multiplayer command and control.
1) Would the C-in-C roll for the number of orders available then distribute them between his side's players either evenly or at his discretion then to do as they see fit?
Example a) C-in-C Pete rolls, has 9 orders available so keeps three for himself and dishes 3 each to John and Mike his subordinate brigadiers.
Example b) C-in-C Pete has 9 orders available and keeps 6 for his command, gives John 3 and Mike goes without this turn as Pete decides his brigades aren't under any pressure to act.
Or
2) Does each player roll for the number of orders for their command?
Sorry if I'm missing the bleedin' obvious somewhere.
Cheers,
Toby
