It details the use of "bounds" written orders and simultaneously revealing them, for its mechanism of play. You will need to provide special 6-sided-dice numbered as follows: 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5 ("average" dice), as well as some regular D6s, various other sundry items associated with this genre as required, and some markers of the same size as the units that they will represent in the game. These markers can even be used for decoy units where applicable, and you would have to obtain additional data on specifics for individual battles, troops, & leaders prior to commencing play for this.
