Immediate Action

A command style where the player’s commands are immediately executed by the target character(s). Contrast to intentions phase.

This command style offers the player the chance to make decisions with a higher degree of information certainty than the intentions phase sytle. They know the exact current position and status of every other combat unit, and can utilize highly optimized strategies that a) eliminate specific threats while using a minimum of resources or b) employ combinations between more than one of their own combat units.
