14.2  LAND BATTLE ROUTINE
Losses in battles are rounded down. A part loss is no loss at all.
Air forces fight. Each side inflicts losses of one-third.
Defending air forces don't turn up if they're too weak to have any effect.
Defending armies may retreat before a battle if the attacking army is too strong.
The armies fight. Each side inflicts losses of one-third, plus a-third of the difference.
Entrenched defenders are doubled or halved, depending on where they're attacked from.
Successful ambushes inflict an extra loss on the attacker.
Defending losses are reduced by one in defensive terrain.
The defender loses one population and one fort (more in bigger battles)
The attacker wins IF the defending armies are wiped out AND there are more surviving attackers than defending population.
If the attackers wins, half the surviving armies move and half go back home.
If the attacker loses, all the surviving armies go back home.


14.3  REMINDERS
On spy actions you must say "where from" if you're recuiting a new spy.
Maintenance on Land = Half (Armies+Ships+Forts-Population) for each land area
Maintenance st Sea = Distance to Base + Half (Armies+Ships) for each sea area
Maintenance of Reserves = One Quarter (Army Reserve) + One Quarter (Air Force) + One Quarter (Navy)
Land Disperal = Armies disperse if the number of armies is more than forts+pop
The number dispersed is armies divided by forts+pop
Sea Dispersals = One ship and one army, each turn and each move action, if no route to base.
Once you put more armies in your reserve you can't take any out until next turn, even ones that were already there. The same applies to ships laid up and commissioned in each naval base.
When armies move into difficult terrain, or attack by sea, or are placed from your reserve, the area becomes sticky and they can't move again until next turn.
Areas aren't sticky at the start of the turn, even if the terrain is difficult.
When you place reserves on the map the area where you place them becomes sticky.
