Contact and Engagement: Simplified Version

CONTACT and CONTACT REPORT:
Contact takes place when opposing units "run into each other" somewhere across the campaign theatre. They halt out of distance of each other and a contact report is issued. The contact report gives:

1. The unit and commanding officer making contact
2. The location of the contact
3. Screenshots of all visible enemy

CONTACT ORDERS:
The player issues orders based on the report. He has only three options, which cannot be modified with additional instructions:

1. Engage (attack)
2. Maintain Position (observe or receive enemy attack)
3. Withdraw

RESULTS:
Based on the contact orders issued by the two opposing players and the number of men on the field, one of three things will happen:

1. Contact is broken without an engagement
2. A skirmish takes place and players will be sent a skirmish report
3. A battle will take place and players are asked to issue tactical orders for the battle.
