I tested a deployment phase the same as that featured in Chain of Command by TooFatLardies as recommended by a number of people on Reddit.

I’m pleased with the results so far, it does need tightening up however. My initial thoughts are:

• You have a number of markers representative of the number of Light Infantry and Light Cavalry units in your force for the battle.
• Units come on at a certain point on the board, players take it in turns to move all their units onto the battlefield.
• Once all units are at the entry point, players take it in turns to move the units 15cm at a time to claim as large a deployment zone as possible.
• Movement is 15cm regardless of terrain (apart from being unable to cross rivers without using a bridge or ford).
