BATTLE OPTIONS

A number of attack and defense options need to be offered. Examples: Stand ground at any cost (perhaps for the last army in a city) Orderly retreat Counterattack A previous (possibly unrecorded) note was made of the need of the defender to specify defending piece when an option exists. On reflection, this is not quite right. Instead, Attacker specifies both attacking and defending pieces. Side note: both type AND quantity of adjacent pieces should normally be apparent.
