Page "A House Divided (board game)" Paragraph 11

The pieces represent infantry and cavalry units, each unit containing from 10, 000 to 15, 000 infantry or from 7, 000 to 10, 000 cavalry.

Each game turn represents one or two months, depending on the time of year.

In all versions, the pieces are represented with three ranks ; Militia, Veteran and Crack.

All new units are Militia units, and promotions happen at the end of victorious battle, as well as during the promotion phase of a players turn.

No unit may be promoted twice in any single player turn, i. e. ; if a unit has gotten a battlefield ( post-combat ) promotion, it may not receive a regular promotion in the same player turn.
