Field notes
Orders include movement, looking, waiting, scanning, stances, shots, grenades, smoke, and mines; the timeline previews each robot’s position over the turn. Playback shows only what a player’s own robots saw, while missiles already in flight continue toward their targets. The rules also distinguish roles through concrete tradeoffs, such as the slow, armored Heavy Machine Gunner and the fast scout that can leave mines.
