How to send a forum battle order?

Hello everyone! What does a forum battle order consist of? Is it a vague command, or something more specific? Could someone please post a command which they used in a past forum battle? Thanks in advance for the help.

Sample orders from the last turn of CTF-URBAN:

Ok, so far so good.

I want to red tape Mrs Madge K. Grobbleham, of Hoboken, New Jersey so that Pistol Guy can Grand Theft Auto her out of her car and steal it.

If my Hero can see any other faction members I want him to take the shot. Get him into cover, don't let him just follow the others into the open please. The balcony were the Dronians started might be a good vantage, what do you think?

The two riflemen in the red building can start taking shots at who ever is out there, if there are no targets (DO NOT target lrdofbriks men unless they attack first) then have them barricade the windows etc. They can fortify here and roadblock anyone who wants my precious Flag. Let lrdofbriks men take their laptop, it's part of the deal.

The Medic can start looking for a weapon, ranged would be best. Still, keep him out of sight of enemy factions when possible.

Ubergun and SMG guy are still tasked with getting Zombie Lincoln up and active. If any targets present themselves take the shot but not at the cost of the mission.

That's it so far, hope it makes sense.

Loving the game btw.

Thanks!

Hey, those are my orders...

Well, there goes all my secret plots

Thanks for editing out the signed picture of me and David Hassellhoff in our lederhosen. That would have been embarrassing... eh, ooops.

Sometimes it's good to draw arrows of where you want to go and who you want to shoot on the overview pics, and describe what you want done just so your orders aren't understood. Like so...

Oh, and if/when the orders do get misunderstood then you must have confused the guy doing the battle with rubbish instructions so no crying about it.

sometimes i find vague orders work best especially as it can be hard to write an essay on something that can be summed up as

"Continue to turtle"-CTF Urban turn 3 orders for 'team sanatarium'

You sometimes can edit your orders:

"I made some changes: One of my soldiers should attack the peaches, the other one should run away." Orders for peach hill turn 8.

What is wrong with non-yellow-headed minifigs?

They look stupid and if you are a peach lover, the only friend you have is Roc77.
Oh and I said peach, not non-yellow headed. I like skulls and Joker bombs.

Oh. I don't own enough minifigs to discriminate based on head color. If I did, my army would be down 5 or 6 minifigs. If I am not mistaken, most new in-store sets use peach for humanoid minifigs.

That's bad. But you can always make a dimmy or a zombie/infected/mutant army.

Maybe. If I am not mistaken, most new sets come with peach-heads? Don't mistake me for a "peach lover," I just don't pay attention to minifig head color much.

Use whatever you want. It doesn't matter, but there are some people who will hate you for it.

I don't hate people who use peach heads, I just dislike peach minifig but j+b on the other hand... he would go crazy if he saw another army with peach heads. Oh well, but face it, the peach are destined to die in a stupid and horrible way.
