Section Cards
When you play a section card, the card will indicate how many and which type of units you may order to move and/or battle. The card will also indicate in which section or sections of the battlefield you may issue orders.
Tactic Cards
Tactic cards feature special rules that enable units to move and/or battle in unique ways or that create other effects as noted in the text of the card.
