Battleplan Orders Guides

Learn every Battleplan order type — Breakthrough Attack, Complex Attack, Seize Ground, Zone Orders, encirclement, and how to draw attack plans on the map.

Orders are how you actually fight in Battleplan. You draw a plan onto the map, assign objectives to formations, and let your officers execute it — so the order type you pick shapes the battle before the shooting starts.

These guides cover each order in the game, from a single-regiment Breakthrough Attack to Zone Orders that direct whole regimental plans across a drawn operational area.
