4.3: Use the order template

An order template listing all of the units for a player and showing any pending orders for those units, appears at the bottom of the turn sheet.

Order template
--------------

begin 812  # Master Bogomil's Family

unit 2508  # Tudor
   # > make 74 (still executing)

unit 2947  # Milo

unit 4375  # Beorn
   # > move s (executing for one more day)
   pillage
   recruit

unit 4763  # Sylvia

unit 5977  # Drango
   # > collect 87 0 0 (still executing)
   sail e
   sail s
   fish
   explore

unit 5418  # Comte de le Sang

end

Note that the layout of the order template matches the syntax the order scanner expects. Many players find it convenient to edit this template to add or change commands for their units. Mail everything from the begin to end (inclusive) to the order scanner. It is wise to save a copy of the orders you submit in case there are errors and they need to be resent.
