The invasion orders section of your command sheet is used for the strategic movement phase of each invasion. At the top of the invasion form, there is an invasion number and the name and ID# of the province under invasion. You will write in the Id# of the character to be assigned to the position of army commander (who must first be assigned to an army participating in the invasion).

You will also write in the ID#'s of all armies that you wish to assign to the invasion. At least one of these MUST be an active imperial army or imperial navy with at least eight troops; if not, the invasion will be cancelled automatically. You must select one of the battle type options and circle the code of the preferred terrain for the invasion force. You may designate patrols composed of up to six different types of troops simply by writing in the troop type number (see troops in your individual Kingdom Report) followed by the number of troop units of each type in the space provided. At the bottom of the invasion orders section you may check one or both of the boxes for hidden movement and decline battle if you wish to order your army to attempt those stratagems.
