    The rules outline movement rates for different actions and terrain, firing ranges and chances of hits for different weapons, melee combat resolution, and morale and night fighting rules.

    Movement is based on basic rates that can be modified by terrain, actions, and carrying items. Direction and obstacles are accounted for randomly.

    Firing ranges and chances of hitting depend on the weapon and whether the target has cover. Range, cover, and the dice roll needed to hit decrease as the target gets further away.
