V. Battle development
00:00 Battle begins. Forces begin moving toward each other.
00:30 Red a. begins shifting to the left (from blue perspective) attempting to secure flank. Blue a. shifts to the left to prevent anyone from slipping past the line. A gap forms between Red a. and Red b. Red a. and Blue a. engage. Red c. shifts right. Red b. is spreading out to cover any gaps and to support Red c. The battle now looks like this:
Red a.---------------Red b.-------Red c.
Blue a.--------Blue b.--------B-l-u-e---c.
The "-" indicate any gaps or that a unit is dispersed.
You are in command of blue forces. What will you have them do?
