Back-Up Plans

Source Battlecry! pg. 161
A leader can usually preemptively issue an order their troop will attempt to follow if the leader is knocked out or otherwise removed from the battle. This could include taking the leader to safety, assisting another troop, or simply retreating. If a troop is under such an order, the GM should determine what happens when the leader is lost. Typically, the troop will try to follow the back-up plan, but circumstances might render that difficult or even impossible.
