Battlefield Setup

Start Mode
Farm Wars spacing calibration: Open Order = Fighter · Space · Fighter, with one empty cell between fighters. Double Open uses two empty positions between fighters.
Physical Field
Build the Map Before Deployment
Blocking obstacles take priority over formations. A blocking obstacle placed into a formation pushes the formation to the nearest legal space inside the field.
Battlefield Map Library
Maps save field dimensions, orientation, Combat Line settings, terrain/obstacles, zones, and map markup — not Groups, Fighters, command roles, or phases.

Command Roles
Field General and Line Captain are independent of team color and weapon loadout. Only one Field General is allowed per side.
Quick Selection & Alignment
These are quick battlefield selections. Group-specific formation editing now lives under Allies, Enemies, or Group Command.
Cohesion / Gap Assistant
Shows spacing labels on shield ranks and flags polearms that drift away from their team's shield line.
Battlefield References
The Line of Combat defaults to two grid-row pitches above the active friendly shield front and is shared by every phase. Drag its label up/down to reposition it. Enemy mirroring, battlefield resizing, and combat-line centering use this reference. Combat Center marks the true center of the active fighting frontage on the Line of Combat.

Battle Phases

Add Next Phase creates the next step from the current battlefield state. Move the formations, then add another phase when you are ready.
PHASES
Phases store Fighter positions, Unit/Group command state, markup, routes, zones, terrain, and battlefield layout. Switching phases automatically saves the phase you are leaving.
