Giving Orders

Touching a unit selects it and subselects the rest of its line, then gives the order to all of them. What those orders do is on Orders. How a line is chosen is on Lines.

• Click a unit to Halt. Click a Halted unit to Advance.
• Swipe toward the enemy keep to Charge.
• Swipe toward your keep to Fall Back.
• Swipe up or down to change rows. A staggered line Reforms first, then switches when it is square. A squared line switches immediately.
• Long press a unit to deselect every other unit. Orders given to it are not passed along the line until you order a different unit.

To Reform without stacking onto a neighbor, swipe toward a clear adjacent row while the line is still staggered — the line squares, then switches. Swiping onto a matching unit that is already In Line Reforms instead, and does not change rows. In Line is on The Map.

Troops can also pick up Halt or Reform without a gesture: an Advancing Troop that newly walks into Perfect Line with a Halted or Reforming Troop on an adjacent row takes that order on itself alone. That does not replace giving orders to a line. See Orders.

The same gestures are listed on Quick Start.
