GAME PLAY CHANGES
Since the Manual and the Technical Supplement were written we have
added a number of enhancements and changes to Fields of Glory.

Army Changes
To add more national flavour to each army the unit names have been
translated into their national languages.  This did, however, create
an inconsistency in the French army where corps numbers are displayed
as Roman Numerals rather than by French notations such as 2‚me Corps.

Command Changes
As well as the "Rejoin Command" order (see the Technical Supplement),
we have added an order to allow commanders to bring all their detached
units back under their direct command. When a "Reattach Units" is
given by a commander all previously detached units will return to the
direct control of the commander and will manoeuvre back to his
position. The commander will then reorganise his units, before
continuing with his Operational Order.

Routing Brigades
Brigades that have routed may rally and return to their commander for
further orders. A message is displayed saying that the brigade has
rejoined its commander. The next time their commander is ordered they
will absorb the returned brigade as for Reattach Units. The brigade
may also be ordered independently by the player.

Army and Wing Commanders
These commanders may be moved by the player around the battlefield in
order to inspire their troops. To move an Army or Wing Commander open
his order box then click on the desired destination point.

Occupying Buildings
Infantry can be ordered to occupy buildings by selecting a building as
their destination point. Once the infantry reach the destination they
will enter the building and gain the benefits of the cover of the
building from enemy fire and assaults.

Ending a Game
The game will automatically finish when 70% of either side have been
killed or permanently routed, or at 21:30, whichever occurs first.

Reviewing the Game
You can review the current level of victory by pressing the R key.

Delayed Orders
Orders are always passed from the army commander to his subordinate
commanders and then to the unit involved. At Guard difficulty level
the delivery of an order is delayed by the time it takes for an order
to travel down the command structure. This means that it will take a
while for a unit to respond to your direct orders. Be patient, the
unit will respond when the order reaches it. Until then the unit's
order box will display its previous order.

Issuing Lots of Orders
On slower machines when you issue lots of orders at the start of the
large battles (Waterloo and Ligny), the game will slow down as the
game's AI transmits the orders. To avoid this problem issue your
initial orders to your Corps commanders then issue more direct orders
to divisions and brigades as they move into contact with the enemy.
Alternatively, issue your initial orders then wait until they have
been implemented before giving any further ones.

CHANGES FROM THE FRENCH MANUAL
The translations of orders have been changed as follows:
        Mixte formation has become Ordre mixte.
        Eparpill‚e has become En Tirailleur.
