What you will nee😛
GOLD, not required but necessary for raising health between fights and purchasing boosters for a fight.
HEALTH, 40 is the minimum but close to 100 is best.
WEAPONS, only one is active but switching is allowed. Every professional soldier regardless of specialty should have a Q1 air unit for fast maneuvering on the battlefield.
FRIENDS, there will be snipers waiting to deploy next to loners on the battlefield, especially if you are not driving a tank.
IRC, how else will you coordinate your actions with your friends?
Rules of Engagement:
Fights on the battlefield are always between one attacker and one defender. All fights are resolved between turns since only one side may move & attack while the other side must wait. Only one player in each fight will remain on the battlefield, the first player to have their health reduced to 20 is automatically removed from the battlefield. However, these players may redeploy back to the map if their health is raised to at least 40. Redeployment is limited to the space you left the map.
Confict Resolution:
What happens when two or more attackers target the same defender? Only one attack will take place; the other attackers will get some combat credit but will have their health reduced by 10 points. If all defenders in a hex are removed from the map then the attackers automatically advance to that hex after combat. Well coordinated attackers may chose not to attack an individual in a stack to prevent automatic advancement; as well as preventing multiple attacks on the same target which waste health. Changes in hex control is only calculated after all fights are resolved. Movement over multiple hexes does not establish control, only player position is checked for hex control after all fight resolution between turns.

"Nika News is priceless... but you can subscribe now for free!" ... true words!
Your articles are some of the few interesting topics I've come across in the past weeks after the migration. This comes in the period of beggar-articles (an issue heavily discussed at least in the romanian press: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/if-the-name-is-jack-and-it-has-an-ass--1456718/1/20">http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/if-t[..]/1/20 )... So I'm really happy I've discovered your newspaper and sub-ed it!
Also a big thumbs up for your skill migration, especially the military one. I don't know if you figured it out or was just a lucky guess but having 2 developed skills gives you more options on the battlefield....now that skills lost their importance over weapon damage.
Waiting for the next one! 🙂
Thanks for your praise. I am a long way from a media mogul but referrals are always welcome. I try to publish relevant articles several times a week. My objective is a short summary with an independent viewpoint that can be used for historical reference.
Skill was deliberate and will be covered in a future article, although if I knew how brutal tanks were I would have selected that skill.
