within the base garrison represented by the army icon with your<br />

symbol and the number “1” (Screen Shot 3 ). You now left click on<br />

the army icon and the “View Army” interface will appear(Screen<br />

Shot 4 ). Clicking on the “Create Army” button at the top of the<br />

screen brings up a dialogue box that allows you to enter the new<br />

army’s name. You enter the name “Recon Alpha” and press the<br />

“Create” button. The cost of creating the new army is 3 Action<br />

Points and you notice that they have been deducted from your<br />

Action Point total. You now left click on the “Garrison” text in the<br />

left side panel and then left click on your Imperial Recon card and<br />

drag it over the unit info text for “Recon Alpha” and release the<br />

card with the cursor over the army to which you wish to transfer<br />

the card, in this case “Recon Alpha.” You then close out the Army<br />

Display Viewer by left clicking on the “Close” button . Now that<br />

you have created your army you will want to move it out around<br />

the game board in the hopes of discovering new resources or<br />

specials that grant you resources or cards. You right click on the<br />

gold army symbol and an options pad appears. Observing the<br />

pad (Screen Shot 5), you notice that a stealth icon appears next<br />

to the army’s name. This indicates that you can engage stealth<br />

mode for this army. The cost in Action Points is displayed by the<br />

red icon with the number “1” next to the stealth icon. This might<br />

be a good idea since the army<br />

is weak and the stealth ability<br />

will allow it reconnoiter the<br />

area a little more safely. Left<br />

click on the text with the army’s<br />

name and the stealth icon and<br />

stealth mode will be engaged.<br />

Next you right click on the army<br />

icon again and notice that the<br />

stealth icon has disappeared.<br />

In its place is the option to<br />

“Destealth Recon Alpha.” You<br />

could select this to move the<br />

army back out of stealth mode.<br />

You also notice the movement<br />

option for “Recon Alpha” has<br />

reappeared. The text is black<br />

indicating that the army has not<br />

moved this turn and enough<br />

Action Points are available<br />

to conduct a movement<br />

operation. The movement cost<br />

in Action Points is displayed<br />

by the red icon next to the<br />

name with the number “1.”<br />

You also notice a circular light<br />

brown icon with the number<br />

“4” inside it. This indicates the<br />

Movement Points available to the army for moving on the map.<br />

Moving into a tile costs movement points. Yellow edged tiles cost<br />

1 movement point, light brown edges cost 2 and dark brown<br />

cost 3 movement points. When you left click on the movement
