| - | Select the number of units you would like to place from the drop down list and then click on each territory on the board that you would like to place the units on.

| - | If Fortify is selected your order will only be executed if you do own the territory or your Team owns the territory if the Team box is selected. If you or your Team owns the territory, then all units sent to Fortify will move to the intended territory. | ||

| - | If Combined is selected your order will be executed as an Attack if you do not own the territory or your Team does not own the territory if the Team box is selected, or the order will be executed as a Fortify if you or your Team owns the territory. | ||
