Special Rules for this Combat

CONFUSION	Unusual circumstances force different factions to work together. There is no order point penalty for mixing factions; however, when a unit executes a combat order against a unit from the same faction, it costs an additional order point. Mercenary units are not affected by this penalty and attack with the normal number of order points.
LOW AMMO	Lack of ammunition limits artillery. You cannot push for a ranged combat order.
