If a unit moved closer to the firing unit in its Movement Phase and suffers a Halted result from the Enemy's Defensive Fire, the enemy player may move the target unit back to ANY point in its move by which it was or had been an eligible target for all the firing units at the same Fire Factors they had used against it. If other units' movement movement paths were following following the Halted Unit, they MUST also be moved back behind the Halted Unit.
Assaulting: Both players roll 1d6. Subtract the Defenders roll from the Attackers roll to find the Initial Difference, which will be a number between +5 and -5. Assault Modifiers to the Assault

Sequence of Play 4.1.1 First Player Movement Unit Movement: Player moves each unit in turn. Second player carries out any Evade moves that apply. Units may recover "LOST" bases. Silenced batteries that RETIRE are no longer silenced. Low on Ammo infantry units that end their movement beyond enemy small arms range remove the Low Ammo marker. 4.1.4 Offensive Fire Moving player may fire at enemy units and resolve effect of fire on each target unit in turn. Firing units may become Low on Ammo. Attacker's eligible artillery removes its Low Ammo marker.
4.1.2 Generals 4.1.3 Defensive Fire First player moves his Generals. Non-moving player may fire at enemy units and resolve effect of fire on each target unit. Any General of either side that are closer to enemy Units than to friends become Casualties. Enemy units that had moved and suffered a Halted result may be moved back. Player reactivates any of his Generals who became Casualties in a previous phase or turn. Firing units may become Low on Ammo 4.1.5 The Assault Defender's eligible artillery removes its Low Ammo marker. Moving player resolves Assaults in any order they choose. Any Generals of either side that are now closer to enemy units than to friends become Casualties. Any Assault resulting from an Exploitation must be resolved Immediately. 4.1.6 Second Player Turn Repeat Steps 4.1.1 to 4.1.5 Any General of either side that are closer to enemy units than to friends at any point in the Assault Phase become Casualties 4.2 Night Intervals See 8.0 Movement Table Full Movement Allowance Movement Penalties Good Order Unit 2D6 Disrupted Unit Infantry / Artillery 12" Outside front arc -3" Full move / Raw unit Recovers 1 stand 11+ Full Move Silenced artillery 12" Infantry crosses any Difficult Terrain -3" Full move / Trained unit Recovers 1 stand 10 Full move Cavalry /Generals 18" Cav/art crosses any Difficult Terrain -6" Full move / Veteran unit Recovers 1 stand 9 Full move Evade move (half to full) Each Linear Obstacle crossed by INF -3" Full move 7, 8 Half move Each Linear Obstacle crossed by CAV -6" Half move 5, 6 Rally in place - no move Half Movement Allowance No move 2, 3, 4 DISRUPTED - no move Change of formation, Artillery limbers up, deploys or Pivots Retire half move (ignore terrain penalties 0, 1 Lose 1 base and Retire 1 full move (ignore terrain penalties) Movement Modifiers DISRUPTED - Retire 1 full move -1 BROKEN, remove unit from table +1 In command radius, in Column of March or artillery limbered Risk to Generals: A General who becomes a Casualty as a result of 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above lose their command radius and therefore do not confer a +1 modifier to any friendly units whilst they are a Casualty.
