Operation Q

[Mike Abberton]

I usually also end up with a lot of troops with red bases in blue boxes at each setup screen.

That means I can withdraw them back into the red boxes, but I can't move them around in the blue boxes. If they want to maintain their ground they stay where they are. Those are typically units that are in front of the advance or in contact with the enemy at the battle break. I suppose it is to keep players from all of a sudden jumping forward and surrounding known enemy troop positions at the break.
